The Ukulele Traders are pleased to introduce the Fender Montecito Tenor Ukulele in Shaded Edge Burst

Here's what Fender say about the Montecito Tenor Ukulele

Inspired by the chic coastal California town that’s home to many celebrities, Fender’s Montecito model offers a mellow, sonorous tone, that matches its elegant, elevated aesthetic. Constructed completely from acacia (a cousin of koa), this tenor-sized uke provides incredible warmth and well-balanced projection. The Montecito's body is appointed with abalone top purfling and a matching abalone rosette for a luxurious touch. The cream binding that outlines the body and fingerboard accentuates the instrument’s natural beauty and figure.

Other notable features include a no-tie bridge for quick, easy string changes, a bone nut and saddle for superior intonation. A lustrous gloss finish, vintage-style closed-back tuning machines and a 4-in-line Strat® headstock round out this Fender’s unmistakably classic look.

About the manufacturer

Fender brings its iconic guitar heritage into the ukulele world, offering instruments that feel familiar to guitar players. While best known for electric guitars, Fender’s ukulele range focuses on playability, modern styling, and solid construction.

Standout models often include Telecaster-inspired designs and electro-acoustic options, making them a great choice for performers or players crossing over from guitar. Fender ukuleles tend to lean toward a slightly more contemporary feel.

More info about this Product

Tenor ukuleles are larger than concert models and offer increased volume, sustain, and depth of tone. They are a popular choice for more experienced players who want greater expression and dynamic range.

The larger fretboard makes them ideal for fingerpicking and more complex arrangements. Many professional players favour tenor ukuleles for their versatility and fuller sound.
