I am SO PUMPED that you are offering Electric ukuleles. They are SO MUCH FUN and learning to use amps, pedals and effects is a whole new universe to explore with ULTP Nation friends.
Are are tele electric ukueles. And this guy can't play such a beautiful instrument. Drop the effects give this girl a real tube amp and it screams it cries it just might get ya laid. Pretty instrument underrated the most fun a girl can have with anything other than well another girl. Lol
This is great. I got into guitar. And love rock. But with my disease guitars never fit me right. And kid ones never stayed tuned. I got into uke but was sad when I couldn't rock out on them. Now I can!!!
Great job showing these amazing instruments. Finally a great overview of the endless tone possibilities of the models. The LP has the most versatility. You can play some clean jazz, pop, rock… due to pick configuration and control of each. We need more ukulele manufacturers to go beyond the traditional shapes and electronics. I suggest to future owners to get the RISA hard case. The gig bag that comes with it is horrible for such a heavy and beautiful instrument.
Terry, my man. Thanks for adding the Risas to your line. I LOVE< LOVE< LOVE my new Risa LP. What a hoot!! I love my Fender American Standard Telecaster but I think the Risa is higher quality. The pots and switch are flawless. The pickups, custom made for Risa. The neck is very sexy... feels perfect. it's spring, windows are rolled down and the neighbors are annoyed. Life is good.
Jeez Louize I thought my mind was blown yesterday with the stratocaster style but this is even more cool! Boy would I love to just try playing any of these. Would fingerpicking and strumming without a pick be brutal on the fingertips or not, that's my big concern.
It’s an instrument meant to be used with a pick. You can fingerpick it or use a combination of both techniques. What you have to get used to are the strings and the tension. It has a bit more tension than an electric guitar. That’s because of the neck length. However with a good set up, it will be a joy to play.
Great video and nice playing! I have the same tenor featured in the video and it's ny FAVORITE stringed instrument I've ever had. What a gem. Cheers from Cali!
Through-body stringing is so incredibly helpful when restringing. I really want to drill my telecaster guitar to have through-body stringing, as I *hate* changing strings with the top-loader
I got mine yesterday!!! thank you to the team at @ukelikethepros for setting it up and getting it shipped so promptly!!! I'm in love with it. The quality and craftmanship is beyond amazing. Besides sounding beautiful, it is a piece of art!!! Thanks!!!
Man I can't wait to get one after I save up. Let me tell you the issues I've been having. As a disabled Little person. I've been trying to find my perfect instrument since high school. I loved guitar. But they were to big. My hands are toddler sized. And I'm very small. Brittle Bones so I can't hold much weight. So with guitars I had to get cheap kids guitars to play. Even then they were kinda big. All I wanted to do was Rock out! I discovered Ukulele. But thought you could only play cute little songs. Until I discovered your videos. I'm a classic rock chick through and through. So the look to the sound I'm loving these Ukes. And can not wait to get my hands on one of these some how! I still might have to get the soprano as it's the smallest. So I'm curious how that one sounds. Either way. I'm looking forward to the day that I'll be fortunate enough to lay my hands on one. And call it my own
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your story. We hope you can some day get one of these awesome Risa electric ukes too. Thank you so much for the feedback! Can't wait to see you rock out! :D
Thank you Terry for this wonderful presentation. This Ukulele Risa Les Paul becomes a real lust, even only after 2 years of practice, but with a very assiduous rhythm of 2 to 3 hours daily. Could it be possible to suggest the following pedals and amplifier for a nice set ?... So I really have to think about the possibility of having an electric model, to complete my 6 Ukulele Tenor (Kanilea, Koaloha, Big Island, Uluru, Romero Creations, Anuenue): what a beautiful thing ... I'm French, and it's hard to find quality Ukuleles here. I am therefore obliged to see English or US sites with, of course, the customs charges to be taken into account. So I will think about all this during my vacation, and continue the 2 weeks of challenge with you .. I will therefore think about all this during my holidays, and continue the 2 weeks of challenge with you .. My English being perfectible, I am very far from understanding all the explanations, but the images are very precise: that compensates .. Really, greats moments..... Thank you. Eric
Is there a reason the LP model is a bit more expensive than the tele and strat models? Is it of better quality? Which model would you say is best for performance? Thanks.
An LP requires more work: maple top glued on mahogany, carving the top, glueing the neck, angled headstock, block inlays (not this one), two pots and one/two magnetic coils more. (Some Risa LP uke‘s have body and neck binding too)
Unfortunately they don’t make it lefty. You could flip the strat over and play it like Jimi Hendrix did. He was left handed but played a right handed start. store.ukelikethepros.com/products/risa-tenor-strat-st-style-electric-ukulele-st-black-dio?_pos=1&_sid=34dafacea&_ss=r
Sounds great but with the exchange rate the Risa Electric Tenor Ukulele cost too much. The Canadian price is almost at $1000. Ouch too rich for my blood.
effect #1: lowpass filter. update: it was the wah-wah pedal, & i was wrong. effect #2: distortion. effect #3: vibrato. update: i was wrong. it was chorus. effect #4: ?????
When they say soprano size, it's almost conventional concert size. If you play a concert, a Risa soprano will feel very familiar. How do I know?I researched this, spoke to a guy in the store in my country and then ordered one. Risa ukes are great. You really can hear and feel the quality.
Hey man, are those one all steel strings? Because my El.Uku arrived with strange strings, half in nylon I think. Let me know, so I'll change them in the case. Thanks
Slightly fatter strings took care of that for me. I upgraded to flatwounds. My C string was particularly susceptible to that. It's much nicer to play now.
@@andydunn5673 I hope so! I spent ages researching this and the best info I found was that regular guitar strings will work just fine: the same tension per inch/centimetre is needed. So I upgraded to the type of flatties I had put on my guitar. D'Addario Chromes 10|48 ECG23. It feels so much nicer too.
I would love to order one of these tenor tobacco sunburst. Went to your website and looked like you didn’t have any in stock. Do you think you will have more coming? Is this something that can be ordered?
comprehensive analysis....thanks. You obviously come from a guitar background and very used to playing with a pick. Can you play this uke with fingers (bit like Jeff Beck) ?
I don't understand the point of this instrument. It sounds like an electric guitar, set up like a ukulele. Really defeats the purpose. I mean, You like what you like... just nor for me.
We're obviously in the minority of the commenters here but I'm with you; I don't get it, either. The sound is unrecognizable as a uke. It's just sounds like a small electric guitar. So why not just play an electric guitar? It's not that I'm a rigid traditionalist. It's just that ukes, like all instruments, have unique characteristics that seems to be lost here without adding anything special.

I hope one of these days, Fender would come up with a "UkuTele"... Anyway, thanks for sharing this great video 👍
It will be super cool, right?
@@UkeliketheprosIndeed ...or something like "Strat-Uke-caster"
the closest is the Fender Player Tenor Tele .... but its 23 inches , so waaay too big
Are are tele electric ukueles. And this guy can't play such a beautiful instrument. Drop the effects give this girl a real tube amp and it screams it cries it just might get ya laid. Pretty instrument underrated the most fun a girl can have with anything other than well another girl. Lol
I just finished a build on Stew Mac mini tele and tune it ADGCEA so 4 high strings play all uke songs with a great guitar tone.
This is great. I got into guitar. And love rock. But with my disease guitars never fit me right. And kid ones never stayed tuned. I got into uke but was sad when I couldn't rock out on them. Now I can!!!

Friggin awesome!!

This is amazing, I really really want one of these now

Nice demonstration
I want one

I love the chorus sound
Very informative video! I got one this week and had no idea what any of the controls do as I've only ever played acoustic before :-)

Amazing!!!!
Thank you
Is there a reason the LP model is a bit more expensive than the tele and strat models? Is it of better quality? Which model would you say is best for performance? Thanks.
I think the biggest reason is that the LP have double humbucker pickups while the Strat styles have single coil pickups
An LP requires more work: maple top glued on mahogany, carving the top, glueing the neck, angled headstock, block inlays (not this one), two pots and one/two magnetic coils more. (Some Risa LP uke‘s have body and neck binding too)
Just got a barely used cherry tenor at a pawn shop for $400
I want one! I'll be the Buddy Guy of Ukulele! Remember I am from Louisiana just like him! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🙌🙌🙌🙌
I'm looking for that Ukalele but for a lefty handed. Do you know where I can find it?

do they come in concert size
Yes please
Oh, man. These look insane. I want so bad but I can't afford it. >.
Sounds great but with the exchange rate the Risa Electric Tenor Ukulele cost too much. The Canadian price is almost at $1000. Ouch too rich for my blood.
Flight makes ukes like these for 160€
effect #1: lowpass filter.
update: it was the wah-wah pedal, & i was wrong.
effect #2: distortion.
effect #3: vibrato.
update: i was wrong. it was chorus.
effect #4: ?????
Would be a buyer if 1.5 nut
Is the cherry sunburst soprano size still available? *drooling*
This guy is pretty cool.
When they say soprano size, it's almost conventional concert size. If you play a concert, a Risa soprano will feel very familiar.
How do I know?I researched this, spoke to a guy in the store in my country and then ordered one. Risa ukes are great. You really can hear and feel the quality.
Six months in ... and I like the Risa sopramo now even more than I did the week I got it. Fantastic.

What’s the tunings usually used for electric ukulele. My normal ukulele is in gCEA tuning, but yours didn’t seem to be the same
I have a black Risa LP soprano, beautifully made and solid but it's very difficult to keep it in tune.
Slightly fatter strings took care of that for me. I upgraded to flatwounds. My C string was particularly susceptible to that. It's much nicer to play now.
@@emm_arrgood addition to the conversation
Thanks for putting that in the comments

Awesome! Love that cherry color, but tenor sized - that would be the perfect combo for me!
RISA has them on both soprano and tenor. I have the tenor. It’s a lovely instrument.
Soon we will have the tenor size!
I can not wait anymore
Are these available in the US?? And is the G string a LowG?
Wondering the same...
@@ellenbuencamino136 Yeah. They are manufactured with a low G.
I would love to order one of these tenor tobacco sunburst. Went to your website and looked like you didn’t have any in stock. Do you think you will have more coming? Is this something that can be ordered?
Cool. Thats just what I needed. But could you play yesterday with that?
Please
Are there electric ukes that come with the high G or are they all low G
I plan to tune this to mandolin tuning or drop tune it to make some weird music 😝😝
Play the better call Saul theme in that thing
How many peace this electric ukulele and where are you from pleae reply🙏
Trying to get one of these but SOLD OUT everywhere :-(
Very cute
How could I buy this type of ukulele
comprehensive analysis....thanks. You obviously come from a guitar background and very used to playing with a pick. Can you play this uke with fingers (bit like Jeff Beck) ?
Yes.
Cool!😎💕✨😊
Wow... berapalah harganya ni?apa jenamanya ni?mana boleh cari ni?
How much?
I find it funny how Les Paul is tradmarked, and yet his initials aren't. I'm sure they can't TM the initials, though
Green day guitar
Awesome concept but why is it promoted and named after a Gibson product? Shady
THIS UKULELE IS SACRELIGIOUS
He actually says hehe
👌👌❤❤
now step on that distortion pedal and play some technical death metal
Can i practice silently in an apartment?
…And his music was electric
I don't understand the point of this instrument. It sounds like an electric guitar, set up like a ukulele. Really defeats the purpose. I mean, You like what you like... just nor for me.
Ukes are much easir to play then a 6 string guitar. I have high G and low G setups. Briliant!
Yeah and they sound terrible, there is no point buying this crap.

Because ukes are better instruments to many. Easier to play. Easier to learn. Easier to compose on.
Guitars are - in many respects - messed-up ukes or messed up bass guitars.
Look crap to me
Terry, your fake laugh is just as fake as that of Kamala Harris. Please stop. Get help. 🤗🙏
