A "Zuma" Signature: The Fender Ukulele with Californian DNA
Inspired by the spirit of Zuma Beach in Southern California, the Zuma Exotic Concert Ukulele emphasizes a direct and friendly approach: you grab it, play, put it down, and start again. Within the Fender range, the "Exotic" version stands out for its selected woods and higher-end aesthetics, while maintaining an intuitive feel. The satin finish with a natural look and decorative details (rosette, binding, Tele headstock) reinforce this positioning: an instrument that catches the eye as much as it invites you to play.
A Concert Ukulele Designed for Frequent Playing (Beginners to Intermediate, and Beyond)
Thanks to its concert format, this model is aimed at beginner to intermediate musicians who want a comfortable instrument with an easy neck and reassuring ergonomics. Advanced players will also find an excellent "everyday" companion: practical for songwriting, accompaniment, recording sessions, and rehearsals. With its 16 frets and compact scale length, it is particularly suited to pop, folk, indie, and chanson styles, whether strumming energetically or playing more nuanced arpeggios.
Sound
The choice of spalted maple for the top, back, and sides gives this ukulele a very distinct personality: a clear attack, good chord definition, and a pleasant balance between clarity and warmth. The fan bracing promotes effective top vibration, helping the instrument naturally project while maintaining smooth sustain for held notes and arpeggios. The nato neck combined with the walnut fingerboard provides a precise feel under the fingers, ideal for maintaining rhythmic cleanliness and clear articulation. Finally, the satin finish enhances playing comfort: quick response, an "organic" sensation, and an instrument that remains pleasant during long sessions.
