Oscar Schmidt OU5LCE Tenor Electro-Acoustic Ukulele

This Oscar Schmidt OU5LCE tenor electro-acoustic ukulele is a practical, well-made instrument designed for players who want the flexibility to play acoustically or plugged in without complication.

The tenor scale offers a little more space and depth than a concert ukulele, while the cutaway body provides easy access to the upper frets. Fitted with an onboard pickup and control panel, this model is suited to home use, rehearsals, and amplified performance, making it a sensible choice for players who need a reliable, stage-ready ukulele rather than a collectible or boutique instrument.

Supplied with a padded soft case and professionally checked over, this is a straightforward, functional ukulele from a well-established maker.

For players looking for a dependable electro-acoustic ukulele that’s ready to use straight away, this Oscar Schmidt OU5LCE makes a lot of sense. The tenor scale offers a comfortable playing feel with a fuller voice than smaller sizes, while the cutaway and onboard pickup add real-world practicality for amplified playing. It’s a straightforward, well-built instrument designed to be used rather than admired, and a sensible choice for anyone who wants plug-in flexibility without paying boutique prices.
