Junior Deluxe
Junior Jr.
A vintage style electric mandolin featuring a sunburst finish, block inlays, and a bound top and fingerboard, JUNIOR DELUXE has a mahogany body and spruce top, combined with a Seymour Duncan mini-humbucker pickup to deliver a warm, fat tone suitable for jazz, blues, country, or rock music. A hollow tone chamber enhances the low and mid range of the instrument, giving it a guitar-like quality while still retaining that tuned-in-fifths sound. JUNIOR DELUXE is available in 4, 5 or 8 string models and can also utilize an EMG bridge transducer for a more “acoustic” sound. The double neck, JUNIOR II, is also available with an 8 string acoustic/electric neck and a 4 or 5 string solid body electric neck (see Custom Instruments).
See Price List for prices.

STRETCH – The Electric Bass Uke
There is an inordinate number of bass players who double on ukulele. Something about the tiny, chordal instrument holds an irresistible attraction for people who often just pluck one note at a time and must fit their vehicles around their axe. So, at last there is an instrument not much bigger than a tenor uke, that not only plays in the bass octave, but sounds remarkably similar to an upright bass. STRETCH utilizes the same silicone rubber strings as the DeArmond Ashbory Bass. The fretless 18″ scale is inlaid with maple fret markers on a rosewood or ebony fingerboard. The body and neck are mahogany. An active piezo saddle transducer provides a signal for an on-board preamp with volume, treble, and bass controls. The sound is as big as the instrument is small, and it fits in an airline overhead compartment!

| EARNEST INSTRUMENTS was founded by Joel Eckhaus in 1976. The name was originally inspired by an old Regal “Octophone”, brought in for repair, that the customer had nicknamed “Ernest.” Joel copied the dimensions and built a similar instrument, and EARNEST INSTRUMENTS was born. As the name implies, these are serious instruments, capable of expressing the artistry and technical proficiency of any musician.
