{"product_id":"b-stock-au-acoustic-ukulele","title":"Ibanez AUP10N Open Pore Light Brown Sunburst Baritone Guitalele B-Stock","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSix Strings, Ukulele Soul\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ibanez AUP10N is hard to put in a box — and that's exactly what makes it interesting. It's got six nylon strings tuned like a guitar (A-E-C-G-D-A), a tenor-sized body you can wrap your arms around, and construction that throws out every assumption you had about how a ukulele is supposed to be built. If you've been curious about a guitalele but wanted something with a little more personality than your average entry-level option, this is worth a serious look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Open Pore Light Brown Sunburst finish gives it a warm, understated look — the kind that lets the wood do the talking. No high-gloss plasticky sheen here, just a natural feel that's easy on the eyes and comfortable in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a guitarist looking for a compact travel companion or a ukulele player ready to explore six-string territory, the AUP10N has a lot going on under the hood — starting with how the body itself is put together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Body Built Differently\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost stringed instruments are assembled from separate pieces — a top, sides, and a back all joined together. The Ibanez AU series takes a different approach: the back and sides start as a single solid block of Paulownia wood that's carved and routed out, creating a chambered body with the structural integrity of a solid instrument. A spruce top is then added to complete the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaulownia is a lightweight wood known for well-balanced tone and good note definition — it's an interesting choice that helps keep the overall weight down without sacrificing resonance. The spruce top brings the tonal clarity that spruce is traditionally known for in acoustic instruments. The result is a body that feels substantial without being heavy, and produces a focused, balanced voice across all six strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlayer-Focused Comfort Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbanez built some genuinely thoughtful ergonomic touches into the AUP10N. The Elevated Comfort Armrest keeps your forearm lifted off the body top, which lets the instrument vibrate more freely while also being more comfortable during longer playing sessions. The beveled cutaway opens up access to the upper frets, and the Edgeless Comfort Heel means your fretting hand transitions smoothly without catching on any sharp angles at the neck joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stereo Sound Port System places dual sound holes along the waist of the body rather than in the traditional position. This gives you a more direct, surround-style monitoring experience when you're playing — you hear yourself better without needing to crane your neck toward the soundhole. It's a subtle thing, but once you try it, it's hard to go back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNeck, Fretboard, and Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Okoume neck is comfortable to play and works well with the compact scale length of 432mm (about 17 inches). Bone nut and compensated bone saddle are welcome details at this price point — they contribute to better intonation and sustain compared to plastic substitutes. The Purpleheart fretboard is visually striking with its deep reddish-purple hue, and it has a naturally dense, smooth feel under the fingers. Black die-cast tuners round out the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory tuning is 1A, 2E, 3C, 4G, 5D, 6A — standard guitalele tuning, which is essentially guitar tuning transposed up a fourth. If you already know guitar chord shapes, you can pick this up and start playing right away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chambered AU tenor body — solid Paulownia back and sides carved from a single block, spruce top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Okoume with a comfortable feel and 432mm (17\") scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFretboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purpleheart with 19 frets and a 400mm radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone nut and compensated bone saddle for improved intonation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-string guitalele tuning (1A, 2E, 3C, 4G, 5D, 6A) with Ibanez ICLS6NT nylon strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Sound Port System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual waist-position sound holes for enhanced player monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElevated Comfort Armrest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps arm off the top for better resonance and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeveled Cutaway \u0026amp; Edgeless Comfort Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy upper-fret access with no sharp edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black die-cast tuners, Purpleheart double-hole bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open Pore Light Brown Sunburst top, Natural Open Pore back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ibanez\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e AUP10N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e AUP10NOLB-2ND\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e B-Stock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
