Love soprano uke tone, but finding that the shorter scale is cramping your style? The G9100-L Soprano Long-Neck is just what the uke doctor ordered. With a 15" scale and a 16-fret concert-size mahogany neck that joins the body at the 14th fret, the G9100-L gives you all the space you need for higher-register playing.

Other features include a mahogany top, back and sides, an ovangkol fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, open-back geared tuners, Aquila Nylgut strings and fitted gig bag.

Available in Vintage Mahogany Stain, the G9100 has an "open pore" semi-gloss finish for an organic look and vibe. Includes gig bag.

    If your heart is set on a long neck, skip/ pass this. I bought this version instead of the regular soprano neck thinking I would have a clear advantage since it would have what a concert sized neck would be. However, the uke could clearly not handle the string tension from having a long neck to bridge ratio. The ukulele arrived with a lifting bridge already- and it kept lifting during the time I've had it. No, humidity was not an issue as I have plenty of guitars and ukes who fair well with a current 45 relative humidity. It's simply that the bridge is too tiny and not reinforced enough to hold the tension thus lifting. It looks like it's a common issue as there are a lot of these long neck versions being resold as refurbished or have had repairs. I can commend on the tone though- it sounded great. However, it's a uke that's not meant to last long.
