Ortega Guitars Hydra Custom Built Series Double Neck Tenor Acoustic-Electric Ukulele & Uke-Bass + Bag

Push the boundaries of creativity with the Ortega Guitars Hydra Custom Built Series Double Neck Tenor Acoustic-Electric Ukulele & Uke-Bass. A rare and innovative hybrid instrument, the Hydra combines a tenor ukulele and a short-scale bass uke into one striking double-neck design—crafted for multi-instrumentalists, adventurous performers, and tone explorers alike.

Built with meticulous attention to detail, the Hydra features a solid spruce top for clear projection and mahogany back and sides for warmth and depth across both necks. The tenor ukulele neck delivers that classic, bright island sound, while the bass uke neck, strung with Aquila Thundergut strings, provides rich, percussive low-end tones ideal for rhythm and groove.

Equipped with Ortega’s custom preamp system and dual outputs, you can control and amplify each neck independently, making it perfect for stage use. Whether you’re layering melodies, switching between roles mid-song, or performing solo with a full band feel, the Hydra is a bold statement in both form and function.

Includes a deluxe padded gig bag for safe transport.
