A Californian Ukulele at the Heart of the Fender Range
Named after Zuma Beach in California, this "Exotic" model is part of the line of modern Fender ukuleles with a bold design. Positioned between soprano and tenor, the Zuma's Concert format offers more volume and depth than the soprano while remaining compact and easy to transport. The figured woods and refined finishes make it both a musical and aesthetic piece.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Ideal for beginner to intermediate players seeking an inspiring instrument, the Zuma Exotic suits vocal accompaniment, pop, folk, reggae, indie, and home-studio arrangements. Its accessible neck and 16 frets facilitate enriched chords, melodies, and playing in higher positions.
Sound Characteristics
Bocote, a dense and resonant wood used for the top, back, and sides, delivers a round low end, precise mids, and sparkling highs. The fan bracing maximizes top responsiveness for a lively attack and excellent projection, while the satin open-pore finish allows the wood to vibrate freely. The 15" / 381 mm scale length provides balanced tension and intonation, and the bone nut adds clarity and sustain. The result: an expressive ukulele with a solid presence in a mix but warm when played solo.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Complete your Zuma with Concert ukulele strings (standard gauge), a Concert size gig bag or hard case for transport, a clip-on tuner, and a ukulele capo. These accessories ensure reliable tuning, proper protection, and maximum versatility, whether at the beach, rehearsal, or studio.
