Master Ahmed Electric Oud – Cutaway Semi-Acoustic (Fishman Presys 301, Walnut, 58.5 cm)

Meet the do-it-all electric oud: a semi-acoustic, cutaway design that’s just as happy in the living room as it is on stage. The flatback body and Fishman Presys 301 preamp give you plug-and-play control with far fewer feedback headaches, while the cutaway lets you reach high notes comfortably for modern maqam lines and solos. Built from solid walnut, fitted with mechanical (guitar-style) pegs for easy tuning, and strung with Kürschner Premium strings, it’s a contemporary take on the classic Turkish oud voice.

Inspired by popular stage Ouds (e.g., Godin-style), this model is designed to be your one-instrument solution—quiet practice, amplified rehearsals, or concert volume with a clean, controllable tone.
