You delivered one of your best lines ever! To wit: "Oh, if you can't have fun, what is the point?" And if the fun involves purple and humbuckers, all the better! 😄
Very cool Rachel. Any ukulele manufacturer that watches your videos knows they will have a guaranteed sale and advertising if they make a purple uke! 😀you are getting quite a collection, live it.
Gosh , the idea struck me of a man I know...could I convert him to a uke , with one of those like you his favorite color is purple and he really does own a beautiful purple PRS. Could I drag him away from his full size guitar? Loved your enthusiasm!!
What a gorgeous little uke. As someone with a couple PRS guitars, I'd have loved this with bird inlays. I get why they can't for trademark reasons, but this looks just like a PRS (headstock not withstanding). Thanks for the unboxing, and grass on the great addition to the collection.
@@UkuleleWales You know, you could probably get some inlays for next to nothing of the birds, and just cut them to the uke fret size. I put inlays on one of my guitars, and they look great.
great to hear! it is soo hard to find many tutorials for e Ukes, especially for fingerstyle solos etc, hope you will do some in the future. Congrats on 10k btw📈
Hi Alan, there is a seller on ebay who makes them. I tend to use the 1 1/2" straps on the ubassess. I'll drop a link below. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134065376810?
Yes, I'm probably that predictable Margaret LOL. Just waiting for some more pics for the next show us you ukes and maybe we'll catch up in a festival soon.
Hi Rachel. Can you reccommend a solid bass uke? I am currently on lesson 11 of your bass programme using team strings. Love it. I am borrowing a friends bass, so would like to get a solid body one. Any tips would be great. Thanks.
Hi Marion, it really depends on your budget. The Mahalo and Hadean solid bodies are around the £300 - I have not played either but read good reviews on both. The Musoo (like my Pinky) are cheaper - I may have more news on these very soon. The Kala California U-Basses are MUCH more expensive (often around £1000) but are very good quality. Another option - Magic Fluke Timber - cheaper (around £600) but you can find them second hand, again not played one but lots of good reviews and hoping to get one at some point. Hope this helps.
Words fail me!!! Exquisite in every way. I adore your 'needs', I truly do. A true love affair. You make me smile so much. You are of child-like delight.😃
Depending where you are living. I know they are easier to get in Europe compared to USA and Canada but I'm sure they are both expecting shipments of these. Good luck in your quest and remember Southern Ukulele Store (UK) shops worldwide I believe, worth asking them as they are really helpful. Here is a link, they are just out of the purple at the moment but have them in regularly. www.southernukulelestore.co.uk/shop-by-brand/flight/flight-vanguard-solid-body-electric-tenor-ukulele-trans-black
Hi enjoying your video's!! I really like the look of this Flight Vangurd. Are all your wired strung electric Ukes, in standard Uke tunning or can they be set up in guitar tunning. EBDG?
Thanks, great to hear you are enjoying the vids. All my electric ukes are strung to GCEA, I know some players have tuned differently, I'm not sure if true guitar tuning would work though. Let me know if you ever try it.
Did you have the flight centurion? Just wondering how it compares to this Vanguard? Bless you great review..👍🏽❤️ … searching to see if the vanguard is in Canada,, so far I don’t see it.. I’m leaning on getting the vanguard,, it looks so nice….🤔
Hi Joe, I don't have the Centurion, but do have the Pathfinder. It's another great electric Uke from Flight and I have heard lots of great things about the Centurion if it helps. The Vanguard is really something special though I think.
"Saw it, bought it, simple as that". I'm with you on that philosophy Rachel...love it!
Sometime you just have to don't you!
You delivered one of your best lines ever! To wit: "Oh, if you can't have fun, what is the point?" And if the fun involves purple and humbuckers, all the better! 😄
LOL, it's been a philosophy of mine for a very long time Jules. I am loving it - almost as much as....... ;-)
Oh, your face as you play it. I was drooling over those too, watching the same Facebook clip. Enjoy
Glad you enjoyed it Eileen, Thanks.
That is a beauty! So fun to come home and unbox a new ukulele. I can see why you had to have that one.
Thanks Ian, yes a really beauty!
Very cool Rachel. Any ukulele manufacturer that watches your videos knows they will have a guaranteed sale and advertising if they make a purple uke! 😀you are getting quite a collection, live it.
LOL, yes I am close to admitting I have a problem! :-)
Nice. I'm tempted by the Risa - will wait for your comparison video! Thanks for your ukulele posts. Especially the U-bass.
Thanks Hazel. Yes, I will try and get some comparisons done very soon.
Gosh , the idea struck me of a man I know...could I convert him to a uke , with one of those like you his favorite color is purple and he really does own a beautiful purple PRS. Could I drag him away from his full size guitar?
Loved your enthusiasm!!
Go for it Amber, love the idea.
Have you seen the new Flight bass ukulele? It looks ace. I’ve ordered one. I’ll let you know.
Love a good unboxing, saw this uke and thought of u 💕 great to see your enthusiasm over your new toy.you deserve it 👍
Thanks Nigel. Yes, it was always going to be the case I'm afraid!! LOL
You've got to post this unboxing and your review of this Vanguard on Electric Lead Ukulele Players, signed the admin of Electric Lead Ukulele Players.
Thanks for the invitation Brigitte. I've been unwell but will try and get the full review done soon too.

Couldn't agree more, it really is a stunner and yes the bird inlays would have been supe cool. Lovelt to play too.

Congratulations Rachel! I have been waiting on this to be released! I am truly jealous haha enjoy it !
Thanks Chris, when I first saw them I knew how it was going to end!! LOL
You didn't! 😂😂😂 when can I pop over again?! Soon??? Please??? Rach, you're a star 🌟 x
LOL Of course - I HAD TO!
that thing is gorgeous!
Id love to see many covers on this uke!!!
Thanks. Yes, I'm sure it will feature a LOT.
great to hear!
it is soo hard to find many tutorials for e Ukes, especially for fingerstyle solos etc, hope you will do some in the future.
Congrats on 10k btw📈
That is a bloody cooowl looking color and sounds great! 👍🏼
Totally agree, Thanks Don.
I want a hard body electric baritone. I hope they come out with a bari soon.
Hi Pat, no idea if they will but chek out Fanner electric ukes as they do make baritones if Flight don't introduce them.
Ahh honestly I'ma save up and get this beautiful electric ukulele.
Hope you get your dream uke one day. Good luck
Where can I get one of those "alien" straps? It would look great on my Denver UBass.
Hi Alan, there is a seller on ebay who makes them. I tend to use the 1 1/2" straps on the ubassess. I'll drop a link below.

@@UkuleleWales Finally got back to this. Thanx. That seller's sales ought to skyrocket...
Yes, enjoyed it very much. Your face is a picture, like a kid in a toy shop. Rock on girl.
Cheers Keith, yes a very happy rock chick here!
I need too! Thanks for showing it off. It’s a beauty!
And why do you NEED it - to get rid of the feeling of WANT! LOL It was a pleasure to show it off, Thanks.
Ukulele. outstanding upload!
Thank You
Look forward to the comparison video or the more detailed review on the vanguard..👍🏽❤️
Coming very soon Joe.
I just knew when I saw this on SUS the other day that you would buy this beautiful ukulele Rachel .🎶🥰
Yes, I'm probably that predictable Margaret LOL. Just waiting for some more pics for the next show us you ukes and maybe we'll catch up in a festival soon.
Thanks for your unboxing of this uke. I just had to go out and get one. I just need to learn to strum using a pick now lol
Brilliant to hear stella, I'm sure you are going to have lots of fun. Takes a bit of getting used to but it's worth it!
This will soon be me 👏👏 Except mine is the black version ❤
Awesome, congratulations Darelle. Have fun with it when it arrives - enjoy!
Looking forwards to you comparing this to other ones
Yes, will get onto it very soon. Thanks Greta.
Yes, will get onto it very soon. Thanks Greta.
Sounds bloody awesome!
Totally agree Christine, and just sooooo pretty.
That’s a real looker for sure. Life is short, buy the uke. Looking forward to the review. Cheers.
Great philosophy Michael. I've been playing it loads so hopefully review coming soon.
Saw this and bought one. Just need to learn how to play i now lol.
Awesome to hear Ron. They do take a bit of getting used to but so much fun!

@@UkuleleWales Hi Thanks fot the reply. I've done some more research, yes true guitar tuning would need to be over a Baritone scale.
I had an idea. Could we donate a ukulele to a musical family but more than one person . One each, to keep warm through the winter here?
Lovely idea Amber. I currently donate any spare ukuleles to kids in school which is always such a joy to do.

Oh my oh my, you've got my blood flowing like it hasn't been in year's
LOL It is a beauty isn't it.
I was sure you would get one 😂
I think everybody knows me too well! Yes, it was always going to happen, just can't believe I was lucky to get one so soon.
👍😎🤘
Oh yes!
We want "Show Us Your Ukes & Ukulele Collections" of yourself. 😏
Yes, I will have to get this sorted. Thanks

Glad you enjoyed.
