The Applause Tenor Ukulele (made by Ovation) is one of the most popular electric ukuleles around. It is a striking looking ukulele (based on the Applause guitars) with small sound holes towards the top of the instrument and a decorated soundboard.

The Applause is a great choice for gigging musicians (and it's used regularly by acts such as the Re-Entrants and Gio Gaynor). It's a reliable, good sounding ukulele that works well as an acoustic ukulele and even better as an electric ukulele.

You can buy a
Applause UAE148 Tenor Ukulele on Musicians Friend for $350. Although you can often pick one up cheaper than that if you shop around on eBay. You can see a selection currently available further in the post.

Construction

The tenor Applause is made with a solid sitka spruce or mahogany top with rounded plastic back. When it comes to the sound, the top of the ukulele has a greater impact on the sound than the back.

The fingerboard is rosewood and has 18 frets. The fingerboard joins the body at the 14th fret, but has a cutaway that makes all 18 frets accessible (at least for right handers, I can't find a left handed model for sale online).
