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 a 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 a 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.
