Ortega BYWSM-U Signature Series Concert Ukulele

Exclusive Billy Watman Signature Ukulele!

The Ortega BYWSM-U Signature Series concert ukulele was developed in close collaboration with the exceptional guitarist Billy Watman. It combines premium materials, ergonomic design, and cutting-edge technology into an instrument that sets the standard both sonically and visually. The solid spruce top delivers a brilliant, dynamic tone with a clear attack, while the back and sides made of Pale Moon Ebony give it an extraordinarily beautiful, high-contrast appearance.

A Sound That Inspires

Thanks to its solid spruce top, the BYWSM-U impresses with excellent projection and a balanced tonal spectrum. The pairing of bright-sounding spruce and dense White Ebony wood provides clear definition in the highs and warm, full mids. The result is a distinctive sound that stands out both in solo playing and in ensemble settings.

Design With Character

The instrument bears Billy Watman's unmistakable signature: the distinctive hat inlay at the 12th fret, framed by abalone-style purfling, and an elegant binding of mahogany and black ABS make this ukulele a visual standout. The integrated armrest also provides comfortable playability—even during long sessions.

State-of-the-Art Electronics On Board

Equipped with the integrated MAGUSX/U preamp system, the BYWSM-U is perfectly stage-ready. The rechargeable system delivers clean signal transmission and simple operation. Combined with high-quality Ortega UWNY-4-CC strings, it forms a fully professional setup for players who value tone, comfort, and style.

Quality Down to the Details

Fine craftsmanship and the premium ebony fretboard with 19 precisely fitted frets provide outstanding playability. The black tuning machines with matching buttons ensure stable tuning and a modern look. Each BYWSM-U ships with a custom signature gigbag that combines optimal protection with elegant design.
