Description
Description
The Ozark 2246 is an 8‑string bouzouki in a guitar‑style body with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back & sides, fitted with electro‑acoustic electronics (Fishman pickup & EQ) so you can plug it in for live or recording use. It’s essentially a bouzouki‑guitar hybrid — combining bouzouki tuning/voice with the familiar body shape and playability of a guitar.
Key Specs
Solid spruce top, solid mahogany back & sides — rich tonewoods for resonance and warmth.
Regular‑width guitar‑style neck joined at roughly the 14th–16th fret.
Scale length ~650 mm — a traditional bouzouki‑y range but with guitar‑comfort feel.
20 frets and rosewood fingerboard — familiar feel for guitarists.
Fishman under‑saddle pickup + preamp/EQ — ready for amplification without aftermarket gear.
Chrome machine heads and wood binding for a classic look.
Usually tuned G‑D‑A‑E (octave bouzouki tuning) — like mandolin tuning an octave down.
👍 Pros
🎶 Hybrid Tone & Playability
The 2246 blends bouzouki chime and sparkle with guitar‑like size and feel — the larger guitar‑style body gives more volume and warmth than some smaller bouzoukis, and the neck is familiar and comfortable for guitarists.
🎧 Electro‑Acoustic Ready
With a Fishman pickup and EQ, you can plug into an amp or PA easily for stage or studio work. The EQ lets you shape tone and cut through a mix without needing extra pickups.
🎸 Solid Build Quality
Solid spruce and mahogany tonewoods offer good resonance and balanced tone — spruce for clarity and mahogany for warmth. That nodal balance helps with both acoustic play and amplified use.
🎼 Comfortable for Guitarists
Because the neck is guitar‑width, many players find it easier to adjust to than a narrow bouzouki neck — especially if you’re coming from guitar rather than mandolin.
👎 Cons
🔉 Less Traditional Bouzouki Timbre
Some purists feel the guitar‑shaped body changes the classic bouzouki character — you’ll get a fuller, rounder sound rather than the more focused, ringing “Irish bouzouki” tone. That’s ideal for some styles, less so for strict trad Irish players.
