2015 UEW1MH OPN
UEW1MH Open Pore Natural Red copyright sprite

The UEW1MH is an UEW series acoustic/ electric ukulele model introduced by Ibanez for 2014. It is also known as the UEW1FC when sold in Japan packaged with a foam case, but that name was shared by a similarly named model made of Hawaiian koa. Both models were made in Japan by Fujigen.

The UEW1MH features a concert style EW body with a soft Florentine cutaway constructed of a solid mahogany top on solid mahogany sides and back with an open pore finish. The round soundhole has an abalone rosette. It has a mahogany neck with a 19-fret rosewood fingerboard with Tree of life position markers. Components include a bone saddle in a rosewood bridge, a bone nut and chrome Grover open gear tuning machines. Electronics consist of a Fishman AG-UKE passive undersaddle pickup feeding a ¼" endpin output jack.

The UEW1MH was discontinued after 2015. It was presumably produced in very limited numbers.
