Fender Avalon Tenor Ukulele Walnut Cherry

A Nod to the Californian Shores

Inspired by the laid-back atmosphere of Avalon on Catalina Island, this model features the iconic Fender aesthetic (painted 4-in-line "Strat" style headstock) in an accessible and stylish tenor ukulele. Positioned above the very popular "Venice" soprano, the Avalon offers greater sonic breadth while maintaining the beach-studio vibe so dear to the brand.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Designed for beginners and intermediates, the Avalon Tenor suits pop, folk, reggae accompaniments, traditional Hawaiian nuances, as well as light fingerstyle arrangements. Its forgiving playability makes it an excellent first tenor, and its 17" / 432 mm scale length provides the perfect space to progress.

Sound

The layered basswood top, back, and sides deliver warm midrange, soft highs, and balanced projection. The fan bracing enhances responsiveness and chord clarity, while the tenor size increases depth and natural sustain. The walnut fingerboard adds precise attack, and the combination of walnut bridge + nato neck ensures reliable stability, ideal for consistent playing with a pick or fingers.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Choose a tenor ukulele string set (standard G-C-E-A tuning), a well-fitted tenor-sized gig bag/case, a flat-radius ukulele capo, and a clip-on tuner. An acoustic instrument humidifier will help preserve wood stability.
