Ibanez AUP10N Advanced Ukulele – Open Pore Natural
The Ibanez AUP10N represents a fresh and innovative approach to ukulele design, delivering a playing experience far beyond that of traditional construction. As part of the Advanced Ukulele (AU) series, the AUP10N is crafted using a unique chambered‑body method: each instrument begins as a single solid block of wood, routed from within so the back and sides form one continuous piece. This results in exceptional resonance, improved structural stability and a distinctly responsive acoustic voice.
A Spruce top provides clarity and shimmering brightness, while solid Paulownia back and sides offer lightweight comfort with excellent note definition and natural warmth. Combined, these tonewoods give the AUP10N a full, well‑balanced voice, ideal for both expressive fingerstyle and energetic strumming.
Designed with advanced comfort features, the AUP10N includes a Stereo Sound Port System, projecting sound upward and outward for a three‑dimensional listening experience. The Elevated Comfort Armrest improves both tone and player comfort, while the Bevelled Cutaway and Edgeless Comfort Heel ensure effortless upper‑fret access. A Purpleheart fretboard and matching double‑hole bridge enhance sustain, tone and visual appeal, while also making string changes fast and simple.
Finished in a beautifully natural Open Pore treatment and shipped with a dedicated gig bag, the AUP10N is a forward‑thinking ukulele offering premium comfort and rich acoustic character in a remarkably lightweight package.
