From Venice to Avalon: The Reimagined "California Beach" Spirit
Inspired by the sunny vibes of the Pacific coast, the Avalon takes the fun and accessible DNA of the famous Venice soprano and brings it to the tenor size, which is larger. It stands as the "big brother" of the range, offering more projection and body without sacrificing Fender's signature simplicity, reliability, and aesthetics.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for beginners and intermediate players seeking an easy instrument, the Avalon suits pop, folk, chanson, reggae/ska repertoires, and unplugged accompaniment. The 17" scale provides slightly firmer string tension, useful for clear chord playing and precise arpeggios, both solo and in groups.
Sound
The laminated basswood delivers a soft and balanced tone, with silky highs and singing mids. The fan bracing enhances responsiveness and natural projection of the tenor format, while the walnut fingerboard offers a crisp attack and controlled sustain. The "pull-through" bridge stabilizes tuning and makes string changes easier, ensuring consistent sound from the living room to the beach.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Pair it with a tenor ukulele string set (GCEA tuning) in nylon or fluorocarbon according to your preference. Protect it with a tenor-sized gig bag or case and accompany your practice sessions with a precise clip-on tuner. A ukulele capo will also be a useful addition to your setup. For maintenance, a microfiber cloth and, if storing in a case, an instrument humidifier will help preserve stability.
