Is there an instrument more perfect for channeling the vibes of summer than a ukulele? Whether you’re sitting in the park with some friends, or round the fire at a festival, a ukulele is the perfect accompaniment for enjoying those sunny summer days and warm evenings. With a view to making your summer even sweeter, Fender has just dropped their Fender Days sale, with an ample 20% off select ukulele models.
Fender are of course much better known for their electric guitar offerings, but if you’ve not tried a Fender ukulele before, you might end up being surprised – they’re every bit as good as their electric siblings. In typical Fender style, many of their ukes come in the DuPont-inspired colors of the 60s, allowing you to go against the characteristic natural tones of a regular ukulele. If you are a fan of the more natural look however don’t worry, there is a great selection of traditional ukes available too.
