Flight Nighthawk EQ-A Baritone Ukulele
$416.00
Baritone ukuleles continue to grow in popularity throughout the world, and we wished to offer our excellent Nighthawk model in the baritone scale. At Flight, we love pushing the boundaries of ukulele design, and the Nighthawk Baritone is no exception! Inspired by the popular features of our Spirit and Mustang models, the Nighthawk Baritone brings the same bold and sophisticated look, now in a larger scale. With eye-catching details like the blue pearloid cutaway and binding, square off-set fretboard markers, and a black finish, this baritone uke is both a visual standout and a high-performance instrument.
Equipped with Flight Custom Baritone Strings, the Nighthawk Baritone uses DGBE tuning, the same as the top four strings of a guitar, giving it a warmer, more rounded tone compared to its smaller siblings. It’s the sports car of our Royal series—powerful, precise, and designed for players who crave something unique. Check out the amazing Flight Nighthawk Baritone and see how extraordinary it is!

Let your music take
A classic gets a makeover
Solid African Mahogany paired with solid spruce
We paired a solid African Mahogany body with a solid Spruce top for a sound that is both traditional and modern. Mahogany is a warm and resonant sounding tonewood with a long heritage in the making of ukuleles. The mahogany body combined with a solid spruce top adds brightness and projection, providing a ukulele that is balanced, responsive, and chimes like a bell!
Beautiful rosewood
Rosewood fretboard and bridge
The Nighthawk model features a gorgeous chocolatey Rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Historically a very popular hardwood for fretted instruments, rosewood can add warmth to the sound of an instrument while lessening harsh higher frequencies.
Pitch perfect
Bone compensated saddle and pin bridge
The Nighthawk features a rosewood bridge, as well as a real bone nut and a compensated saddle. Compensated saddles help to properly set the intonation of each string. The Nighthawk includes a pin bridge system, which helps keep the strings properly aligned on the ukulele, as well as to create a break angle over the saddle that transfers vibrations efficiently to the spruce soundboard of the ukulele.
Flashy Appointments
Blue pearloid cutaway and binding, shell Rosette, square position markers
The gorgeous shell rosette and flashy pearloid blue cutaway and binding add bling to this ukulele – even the Flight logo is pearloid blue! The square, off-set fret markers are eye-catching and modern looking. Far from being a retiring wallflower, this ukulele wants to be noticed!
Small yet mighty
Double C1U active pickup
The controls for the active pickup are mounted underneath the sound hole, meaning that a cavity does not have to be created on the side of the ukulele for the pickup. Most importantly, they sound great! Check out the FAQ on our website for more information about the operation of the Double C1U.
The famous Flight headstock
Bold and striking
Our now famous signature headstock is bold and striking, infusing innovation into all the benefits of a slotted headstock. Its round, airy shape not only looks amazing, it also makes the headstock lighter than most. You will certainly be turning heads and tuners with this headstock.
Only the best gig bag
Royal burgundy
All of our Royal series ukuleles come with a luxury red gig bag with a purple infusion. Associated with royalty, this regal color adds a final touch to our Royal Series. The bag features 20mm padding which is thick and will ensure good protection for your uke.
Taking care of your ukulele
Why do you need a humidifier?
If you live in an area with low humidity, the wood of any instrument can dry and warp, causing issues with playability, such as fret buzz and dead string sounds. This isn’t a design fault; it’s how wood behaves naturally. We love the instruments we make, and we want you to continue enjoying them. Our Flight Nighthawk, as well as the Royal Series, comes with a Flight Ukulele Humidifier included.
