Ibanez produced the UEWT14E as an electro-acoustic tenor ukulele within its acoustic ukulele line, built around the EW cutaway body style and voiced for players who required both acoustic projection and amplified output. The cutaway configuration gave access to the upper reaches of the 19-fret Purpleheart fretboard without sacrificing body resonance.
The body was constructed with an Ovangkol top, back, and sides finished in an open-pore treatment on all surfaces, paired with an Okoume neck. Fan bracing supported the top internally. Fretboard and bridge were both Purpleheart, with maple dot inlays and a maple soundhole rosette providing the decorative detail against ivory body binding. Grover chrome open-gear tuners with black knobs handled tuning. The nut width measured 37mm, scale length 432mm, and string spacing at the saddle 15mm. Electronics consisted of an Ibanez undersaddle pickup feeding an AEQ2U preamp with onboard tuner, outputting via a 1/4" endpin jack; power was supplied by two CR2032 coin lithium batteries. Strings were fitted as Ibanez/Aquila NYLBLACK ukulele strings from the factory.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the CR2032 batteries, NYLBLACK-compatible strings, or a substitute compensated saddle — should verify dimensions against the specs above before purchasing. For setup, intonation, or electronics work, a qualified guitar or ukulele technician will be best placed to advise.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
