Description
Named for the celebrated California enclave, the Montecito Tenor Ukulele pairs West Coast elegance with genuine Fender pedigree. Every part of the body is built from koa, giving this tenor a warm, sonorous voice that’s as at home on stage as it is on a porch. Because the top is solid koa rather than laminate, you get real resonance and sustain, with a balanced projection that fills out low notes without losing clarity up top.
Visually, the Montecito doesn’t hold back. Blue-green abalone binds the top edge, while the back and walnut fingerboard get matching binding for a finished, high-end look. An abalone rosette rings the soundhole, tying the whole aesthetic together under that natural finish.
Fender didn’t skip the details that affect playability, either. A no-tie bridge makes string changes fast and hassle-free, while a bone nut and saddle help lock in accurate intonation across the fretboard. Vintage-style closed-back tuners keep things stable, and the 4-in-line headstock borrows its silhouette directly from the Telecaster—an unmistakable nod to Fender’s electric guitar heritage on a decidedly acoustic instrument.
