Description
Ortega Guitars HYDRA-BSTE Custom Built Series 3/4 Double-Neck Ukulele
Ortega Guitars HYDRA-BSTE is a double-neck acoustic electric instrument designed for multi-voicing performance and creative playing environments. It enables players to switch between ukebass and tenor ukulele tuning for expanded tonal range, supporting solo and ensemble workflows. This makes it ideal for performers who require multiple string voices within a single instrument format.
The instrument combines two four-string necks with integrated electronics that route signals through a selectable output system. A three-way toggle switch allows selection between ukebass, tenor, or combined operation. Construction focuses on laminated tonewoods and unified hardware to support consistent response across both necks.
This configuration allows musicians to move between bass and ukulele roles without changing instruments. Integrated electronics and onboard tuning support practical performance use. Included transport protection supports handling and storage for travel and live use.
