Quality Fender Ukulele

This is a good quality tenor Ukulele with good tonal depth. This is a Fender uke I would recommend. The gig bag that was included, was of poor quality.

Great sound, excellent quality, and fast delivery from Adorama

Overwhelmingly pleased, both with Fender and Adorama. The Ukulele is clearly worth the price. Beautiful appearance, quality construction, and the sound is exceptional. Although the specs listed standard “nylon” for the strings, it came with Aquila SuperNylgut. I really like the non-traditional headstock (aka Fender Stratocaster). While some decry that it’s not Uke-like, it’s much easier to tune and holds a tune really well. ( 1-You turn the pegs the same direction and 2- strings are in direct alignment with their position on the nut. ) Don’t get your hopes up with regard to the “gig bag.” Stiff material with zero padding or protection. Budget for a padded case to protect this beauty. FWIW, this was a replacement purchase for a basic Kala, a clear difference in construction, appearance and playability.
