The EWP13DBO is a 1/3-size, steel string Piccolo acoustic guitar (guitelele). Can fit in a plane’s overhead compartment.
Similar in scale to a baritone ukulele (17”), the EWP13DBO sports an EW-style cutaway body. The top, back and sides are made of ovangkol, a wood found in Western Africa and known for its beautiful figuring and purpleheart-like tone. An open pore natural finish allows the body to resonate more freely for improved tone and projection. Other features include an abalone rosette, purpleheart fretboard, bridge and chrome die-cast tuners.
To optimize string tension, intonation, and tone, the EWP13DBO is tuned in the key of A (A, D, G, C, E, A), up a fourth from standard tuning.
