Ibanez produced the UKS10 as a soprano-body acoustic ukulele, positioning it as an entry-level instrument in the acoustic ukulele range. It carried a natural finish as standard.
The body was built with a sapele top, back, and sides. The okoume neck carried a purpleheart fretboard and matching purpleheart bridge, with white dot inlays and a flat fretboard radius across 17 frets. The nut and saddle were plastic, and tuning was handled by chrome open-gear machines. The scale measured 350mm, with a nut width of 35mm and string spacing of 13mm at the bridge. Neck dimensions were 17.6mm thick at the first fret and 20.6mm at the seventh. Factory tuning was set to standard soprano reentrant: 4G, 3C, 2E, 1A, with a string gauge of .022/.028/.032/.022.
Owners requiring setup work, nut or saddle replacement, or help sourcing compatible purpleheart bridge components should consult a qualified luthier or instrument technician familiar with soprano ukulele construction.
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.
