Love mine. Had a loose wire when I got it, but it was only $10 to get it fixed, and customer service was great. Now I'm using it with a belt mounted amp while walking around. 😊

This is in my opinion the nicest looking Flight electric ukulele i have seen, the proportions just work better than with Centurion for example.

Really great, thorough video and excellent sound demos! I've been considering an electric uke for a while. Although the least popular model I think the Pioneer would actually be my first choice. I used to play an Epiphone SG back in my guitar days. Love the idea of bringing that history into my ukulele playing.

I got the Pioneer last week. We cannot wait to unbox it tomorrow!! Your review and demo is awesome and I am so glad you gave the Pioneer special attention.

I have seen and heard alot of talk about electric ukuleles lately and I can see the appeal and why many adore them. They sound great, thanks for sharing Alex. 👍

Nice one Alex. You've sold me. Thanks for all the trouble you go to to share your knowledge and experience.

I have a Centurion and enjoy it quite a bit. My advice to anyone considering one of the electric Flight ukes is to purchase from a dealer that checks them over and does a set up. My first Centurion wasn't from a dealer and it had issues.

Great little demonstration Thanks for bringing it together for us For my 1st electric uke This or the Risa alp at double the price

So helpful! Thank you!!

I just got the Harley Benton SG electric uke, and this seems much better. First of all, Flight seems to have put on a much nicer bridge. I also like the fact that Flight saw fit to actually put on two strap pegs on the body, which HB didn't do. (Strike one against HB) also I like the fact that you can actually see the pick ups on the Flight while the pick up is built into the body on the HB version. (I'm assuming they're using either a Piezo or a Fishman pickup) I also like the fact that there is both a bridge and neck pick up, along with individual volume and tone controls for each, and a three way toggle switch. Harley Benton only has one volume and one tone control for their hidden pick up. As far as the sound is concerned, other than the fact that mine came with steel strings, I didn't hear much difference in sound between it, and my Epiphone Les Paul acoustic/electric hybrid uke. (Which, basically, just looks like a traditional uke cut into a Les Paul shape, and has a sunburst finish) I'm not complaining too much about the sound, though, since I like my Epi LP, but here's what was really disappointing about my recent purchase of my Harley Benton counterpart: It arrived out of tune. Now that's not such a big deal, I don't really expect any guitars to be perfectly tuned when shipped through the mail, but the fact of the matter is, after I tuned all the strings, the A string kept slipping out of tune every time I played it, so I kept retuning it until the A string finally SNAPPED! After I removed the string, I noticed that the tuner was rather loose and wobbly. So, not only do I have to take my uke to the local luthier to get a second strap peg affixed, I also have to have them check out my tuning peg, and maybe even replace it. And if all four tuning pegs are equally wonky, I'll have to have all four replaced. I am definitely saving up my money and am going to try out a Flight SG. Luckily there is a ukulele shop where I live that carry them, and I hope they'll let me try one out and inspect it before purchase. They're going for around $425.00 were I live, including the gig bag.

Hi Alex, thanks that video is really helpful, been playing acoustic Uke a couple of years, just got my electric pathfinder a couple of months ago but as I had not ever played guitar was finding some of the jargon confusing.

As usual Alex you’ve put your love into this video and now (along with the previous SUS video) the Pioneer would be my electric uke of choice - who doesn’t want to play John Mayer?

If Flight decides to make a baritone uke with this body style, I'll be all over that!

This is the exact review I needed/ although they are $500 in the states now. I’m a lefty player and was worried about how it plays flipped.

Another fab video Alex. Could you advise what I should restring my Flight Vanguard (that I bought from Southern Ukulele Store) as I seem to be fretting the existing strings out of tune due to playing acoustic ukulele's for years - I think my Vanguard is currently strung with 10's. Have a great evening and keep the great videos coming.

Thanks for the review and the beautiful playing. Is there any electric ukulele that you would give 10/10 points?

Hi Alex, great review as always! You mentioned that Flight would be releasing a left hand electric uke at the end of 2022. I can't seem to find this or any other good left handed electric options. Do you happen to know of any?

Need a Guitelele version!

Thank you for this video Alex. You told something about the strings you prefer/recommend (g c e a thicknesses). Can you recap this here? Thank you!

How does it do with distortion? I’m assuming decently at least due to the humbuckers, but I’ve never seen any attempt on these. Edit: now that I’ve watched all the way through it does indeed do well with distortion.

Seriously considering one of these. It's between this and the Risa TE. Do you know if the Pioneer has individual saddles for setting the intonation of each string?

Hey Alex, Great work As a self taught ukulele player, I wanted to upgrade my ukulele from acoustic to solid body electric uke, Don't wanna learn acoustic guitar and then acoustic one, So I was pretty much confused between Flight Pathfinder, Vanguard and now that I've seen this review, Pioneer. Which one should I go for? Considering that I have 0 experience in playing electric uke and have to learn all of it by myself. I want to keep the instrument for a lifetime basically and I don't have the budget to go for Risa so which one should I purchase? Also One question I had in mind, Single coil + Humbucker setup on Flight Pathfinder vs Humbucker + Humbucker setup on Flight Pioneer and Vanguard. Is there much difference between the two?

Hi Alex, quick question, the flight ukulele you are playing appears to have a 'low' G ? Can it be changed for a 'high' G ? Thanks for the video. 👍😊.

Good review, so good I bought one. However I disagree with you about accepting minor defects in an instrument just because it costs £300. At that price I would expect a high quality finish. Kala can do it, so should Flight.

I didn’t catch you talk about the frets. I bought a Flight soprano Uke and the frets are horrible! Both the treble and bass sides need a serious filing! Whereas my $75 Kala’s frets are smooth as butter!

Excellent demo - sorely tempted - but I really want to keep the look for our band of classic ukes and I almost always play soprano - bought an Anuenue off you and it’s awesome. - is there any way of getting a good electric sound from such a uke (you offered to fit a pickup) or best to go full on solid? Thanks great video :)

Hello. I would like to ask for advice. In our country, there are not many shops focusing on ukulele. Do you think a guitar shop can set up and tune a Pioneer?

have you done a review on the flight vanguard?

Hi there! I purchased one of these recently and had it re-stringed left handed by a "professional" (he also adjusted the nut by cutting into it), but the G string won't tune high enough no matter what I do. I've snapped 2 strings trying already. Would you have any idea as to why this is happening? (sorry if this doesn't make sense)

Are you still using this 2 years later, and not as an after thought? The SG is my favorite style by the way.

I'm a baritone ukulele player. What strings would I use to convert this into a baritone uke? And is it even possible?

It's only available for left handed players ? Or if I buy it the strings will be for right handed . ?

What's the tuning

where can i buy one.

Why buy one if you do not play METAL???? No thunderous riffs,gallops does is sound good strumming?

I have seen the Centurion, Pathfinder and the Risa models previously, and not been overly impressed for the price. The Pioneer changes that for me. Thanks for making me need another ukulele Alex!
