With the new Montecito Tenor Ukulele, Fender expands its wide range of products by a chic instrument made of the finest materials producing an incomparable sound. In order to create this warm and clear sound, the manufacturer uses solid Koa wood , which over the years develops its sound continuously and gains in balance and volume. Thanks to a thin finish , the solid top can vibrate freely, resulting in a quick response, which is gently enhanced by the lightweight construction of the laminated Koa body . A flat nato neck with a walnut fingerboard ensures pleasant playability and, combined with 35 mm nut width and a 432 mm scale length , allows perfect access to all 19 frets . Elaborate abalone bindings and an abalone soundhole rosette , which with its blue-green reflections accentuate the fine koa wood in a very aesthetic way, complete the visual appearance. The instrument comes in a sturdy fender bag .
The products were well packed and arrived on time. The instrument is a lovely looking uke. Having just received it I am still tweaking the tuning every day so it is taking time for the instrument to be steady tuning wise. As a beginner I was disappointed that there was no mention of tuning the uke, the instrument was way of tune and I admit I was scared to keep on turning the tuning keys but I persisted and eventually the instrument did tune in and as I have mentioned I still have to significantly tune the uke in before my practise session (I play for an hour 5 /6 times a week).
