Fender Ukuleles

About Fender Ukuleles

Fender is best known for its high-end electric guitars and bases, standard equipment for performing musicians of every level, including the very top. The company has recently branched out into ukuleles, owing to the instrument's increasing popularity and graduation in the public eye from a toy to a legitimate musical instrument. They currently comprise of three models, all tenor voice and four-stringed models, that are designed to bring modern manufacturing techniques to this traditional instrument. They feature the distinctive elements of Fender design and wood patterns which are elegant and attractive.

The Models

There are three models. The Ukulele Hau'oli, the Ukulele Nohea and the Ukulele Pa'ina. The Ukulele Nohea features a blonde wood finish and the other two a darker, richer finish tone. All three instruments are topped with the Fender Telecaster style headstock, which features all four tuning pegs lined up on the bottom side of the neck where they are most accessible to the player. The tuning pegs, bridge components and fret boards are all commensurate with Fender's level of quality and are suitable for professional use. Wood choices include koa and mahogany and passive electronic pickups are available for electrified use. All three models feature 19 frets. They are all full-body designs, without the cutaways at the top frets which are characteristic of the company's electric guitars.

These instruments come with their own gig bag—a soft-shelled carrying case—as well as an instruction book which helps new players get started. Fender Ukuleles are newcomers to the marketplace and, as such, there are only three models currently offered. The instruments are priced at the mid to entry level range. These instruments all feature rosewood fingerboards and die-cast tuners. Hard shell cases must be ordered separately for these instruments.
