Product highlights

An Unmistakably Irish Sound

It comes with an added pickup, transforming it into an electro acoustic bouzouki that's ready to plug in and play, making it perfect for live performance and gigging musicians.

Crafted from quality materials, the McNeela Premium Irish Bouzouki features a spruce top with saplewood back and sides; rosewood fingerboard with dot inlay and floating bridge. This is a highly resonant instrument with plenty of sustain. The flat back design offers that unique Irish bouzouki sound with a rich, resonant low end and clear, bright high register.

The low action and flat back design combine to offer a comfortable playing experience that will help you play for hours on end.

“I’ve had my premium electro bouzouki now for a few weeks and I couldn’t be happier. It has a beautiful sound, is easy to play and the craftsmanship is excellent. I love it!” - Don DiCicco

New E-4T Tuner and Pickup

We are excited to announce that each of our Premium Electro Acoustic Bouzoukis is now available with our new E-4T pickup. This features a 3 band EQ system which allows for plenty of customization in its sound when playing the bouzouki through external amplification. Having a set of treble, middle, bass and presence knobs gives you the opportunity to dial in your tone exactly how you want it.

This new tuner and pickup will undoubtedly make playing the Irish bouzouki easier, as well as giving you an advantage over other bouzouki players in the Irish music community.

Note: The Electro Acoustic Bouzouki Requires a 9V Battery

“This beautiful instrument was all I hoped it would be. Lovely tone, sustain, resonance and nice low action while holding pitch well.” - Dave McGinn

What are the Advantages of a Floating Bridge?

Floating bridges are more versatile than fixed bridges and can be easily adjusted. This allows forease of adjustments to intonation and string height.
The floating bridge is one of the main features that helps to create the bouzouki's characteristic biting sound, creating a bright top-end sound with plenty of attack.

This Irish bouzouki is crafted from quality tonewoods and features a spruce top with saplewood backs and sides, and a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlay. Making it as stylish to behold as it is pleasurable to play.

“Awesome buying experience, ordered and received within 8 days all the way from Ireland to Kentucky USA, electronics sound great, looks great, sounds great.” Gary H.

What's the Difference Between an Irish Bouzouki and a Greek Bouzouki?

The bouzouki first became popular in Irish music in the 1970s. The so called Irish bouzouki is an adaptation of the much older original Greek stringinstrument. The three main differences between the Irish bouzouki and Greek bouzouki lie in the shape of the body, the length of the fingerboard and the tuning of the strings.

Greek bouzoukis feature the typical rounded back, and are typically slightly larger instruments with a longer scale length of approximately 27 frets. The Irish bouzouki features a shallow, flat back which some find easier to hold and rest on their knee. Irish bouzoukis typically feature a shorter scale length of approximately 24 frets.

Irish bouzouki pairs are tuned in unison to GDAE or GDAD. This tuning lends itself well to accompanying traditional Irish music.

“I love this bouzouki, and that they had the foresight to put a pickup and a preamp in it. This is the best I have sounded on stage! Clean clear sound, good action." - John W.
