How we ranked these ukuleles

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • Solid top weight 3
  • Built-in pickup / EQ weight 2

Buying advice: electric ukulele

Best electric ukulele by size

Size comes first. The AKLOT, Caramel CT904, EASTROCK, and Caramel TEG91 picks are tenor ukuleles at 26 inches, while the Luna pick is a concert ukulele. The Caramel CT904 tenor gives wider spaced frets than concert size. Match the size to the ukulele you already play, and check the Luna pick if you want a concert size.

Check the pickup and tuner

A pickup and tuner decide how you plug in and stay in tune. The AKLOT, Caramel CT904, and EASTROCK picks pair a built-in preamp or EQ with a tuner, and the Luna pick pairs a preamp with a gig bag. The Caramel CT904 adds an LCD color display tuner, and the Caramel TEG91 pick pairs its electric body with a tuner in the kit and a 1/4-inch jack. Check whether the pickup, the EQ, and the tuner match how you play plugged in.

Compare what comes in the kit

Kits differ in what they hold. The AKLOT kit holds a bag, a cloth, picks, spare strings, and a strap. The Caramel CT904 kit holds a gig bag, 3 guitar picks, an audio cable, a cleaning cloth, a strap, an EQ cable, and instructions. The EASTROCK kit holds a padded backpack gig bag, 5 ukulele picks, a digital tuner, a capo, and a kazoo. Compare the kit contents against what you already own before you buy.
