{"product_id":"oak-concert-ukulele","title":"Lanikai OA-C Oak Series Concert Ukulele","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Concert Uke That Turns Heads Before You Play a Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOak is one of those tonewoods that surprises people. It's not as glamorous a name as koa or rosewood, but pick up the Lanikai OA-C and you'll hear exactly why Lanikai built a whole series around it. The wide, bold grain patterning is striking in person, and the triple-matched top, back, and sides give this little concert uke a consistency that looks — and sounds — intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OA-C sits in a sweet spot: a concert-sized body gives you more real estate than a soprano without going full tenor, and Lanikai packed it with thoughtful hardware at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage. Whether you're picking it up for the first time or adding something dependable to a growing collection, this one's worth a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe satin natural finish lets the oak's natural grain do all the talking — no glossy lacquer fighting for attention, just a smooth, comfortable feel in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOak Laminate Body — Grain-Matched for Good Looks and Consistent Tone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top, back, and sides are all built from oak laminate, triple-matched for grain consistency across the body. Laminate construction gives you durability against humidity swings and everyday knocks — a practical choice for a uke that's going to travel. The satin finish keeps the feel natural and unobtrusive, whether you're playing at home or out at the park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOak brings a bright, crisp character to the instrument. It projects well and responds quickly, which makes chord work feel satisfying and single-note runs feel snappy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware Designed to Stay Out of Your Way\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLanikai fitted the OA-C with a GraphTech NuBone XB nut and saddle — a genuine upgrade over the plastic components you'd find on many instruments at this price. NuBone is known for its rigidity and consistency, which translates directly to better sustain and clearer note definition across the fretboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hidden scarf joint connects the neck and headstock lower on the body than a standard joint, allowing the neck to resonate more freely. Lightweight open-back tuners keep the headstock from feeling heavy and front-heavy in your hand. The 8-hole Quick-Tie bridge speeds up string changes considerably — a small quality-of-life detail that adds up over years of playing. Nut width comes in at 37.4mm, giving you a comfortable, slightly wider-than-average neck profile that's easy to navigate up and down the fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReady to Play Right Out of the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLanikai strings the OA-C with D'Addario strings from the factory — a dependable choice that you may want to keep on it for quite a while. Two chrome strap buttons are standard, so you can play standing without any modifications. The instrument ships with a Lanikai padded gig bag for transport and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OA-C carries Lanikai's Limited Lifetime Warranty, reflecting confidence in their build quality. It's a concert-sized uke built to be played, not babied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Oak laminate top, back, and sides — triple-matched grain in satin natural finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Hidden scarf joint for improved neck resonance and sustain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: GraphTech NuBone XB for enhanced sustain and projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Lightweight open-back tuners for accurate tuning and a balanced headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 8-hole Quick-Tie design for consistent saddle pressure and faster string changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 37.4mm — wider profile for player comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario strings factory-installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Concert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: None (acoustic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: 2 chrome strap buttons; Lanikai Limited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lanikai\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e OA-C Oak Series Concert Ukulele\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e OA-C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
