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.

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.
