Product Description
Straus
We don't know of anyone offering an electric violin of this quality at a price this low! The highly sensitive built-in piezo pickup gives a rich, natural tone. Just plug into an optional Zoom effects processor and you'll be ready to blow the lead guitar right off the stage! Available 4 or 5 string models in White or Vintage Sunburst finish. 4/4 only. Includes deluxe custom-fitting case with full weather flap (no bow).

I had the five string version of one of these, and the sound was so thick and clean. I somewhat regret trading it, and another, but it was the only way I was going to talk a friend into giving up a violin that I'm certain never to part with.

I liked it overall. The pickup seems to come unconnected often but is easy to plug back in. The strings it comes with need to be replaced. I replaced mine only a few weeks ago and it finally worked with the direct box. Once you figure out how everything works with it, it’s a good instrument.

The Straus 500 5 string is an excellent buy for the price. However, the strings that come with it are of very poor quality and should be changed immediately. The c-string especially, tends to go high when played, sounding sharp.
