Surf's up!

The Fender Zuma Concert Ukulele takes its name from a famous surfing hotspot: Southern California's Zuma Beach. No small wonder then that many musicians will have images of beaches and campfires in their minds before they even play a note. The Zuma Ukulele features the classic combination of woods - back, sides, and top are made from laminated mahogany, while the neck is made from nato and the fingerboard from sturdy hardwood - and its 15" scale length places it squarely in the concert ukulele category. The instrument is protected by its open-pore finish, which at the same times gives it a balanced, earthy tone, and a distinctive yet unusual feature is the headstock, which Fender has borrowed from its legendary Telecaster guitars.

Warm, bright, classic

Size-wise, the Fender Zuma Concert Ukulele sits between the smaller soprano ukulele, which delivers the "classic" sound associated with ukes, and the larger tenor ukulele with its more guitar-like sound, and thus offers a good compromise between the two by combining the brightness of the one with the warmth of the other. The Zuma is tuned in "reentrant" or "high-G" tuning (G-C-E-A), though "low-G" tuning is also possible if desired, and it features a set of sealed nickel machine heads of the kind also found on Fender's electric and acoustic guitars, which it to be easily and precisely tuned and ensure reliable tuning stability at all times.

Concert scale length for pure playing comfort

The scale length of the Zuma Concert Ukulele is around 3cm longer than the 350mm of a standard soprano ukulele, which means that the fret spacing is also slightly wider and the instrument thus more comfortable to play - without losing the typical "twang" for which ukuleles are known and loved, of course. This will make it easier for beginners in particular to play chords cleanly, as well as being a blessing for musicians who have to switch between ukulele and guitar in a live setting. The Zuma also features a convenient "no-tie" bridge that eliminates the special knotting required by traditional ukulele bridges and thus makes re-stringing a breeze, while its slim neck profile and well-balanced design make it equally comfortable to play both standing up and sitting down.

About Fender

Fender is without doubt one of the most legendary guitar and amplifier manufacturers of all time. The company was founded in 1946 by its namesake Leo Fender († 1991), whose innovative ideas brought a breath of fresh air into the musical world. His Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass are not only classics – they also continue to shape the styles of musicians in countless genres to this day. Timeless Fender amplifier models such as the Bassman, Twin, Deluxe, and Princeton also enjoy a stellar reputation. Besides maintaining its classic product portfolio, however, the company is also constantly developing new products that make Fender a driving force in today’s music industry.

Not just for sitting around the campfire

It's certainly an appealing scene: As the setting sun casts its last rays over the ocean, everyone gets comfy around the campfire, the Zuma Concert Ukulele comes out, and those lilting notes provide the perfect soundtrack to the evening. But the Zuma can do a lot more: It can easily be fitted with a pickup like the Ziegenspeck Uke-Up (article no. 429216) or the MI-SI Acoustic Trio UKE (article no. 335098) and, in the right hands, will then cut a fine figure on stage. Newcomers to the instrument and those making the transition from the acoustic guitar will certainly appreciate the enhanced playing comfort offered by the Zuma's slim neck profile, concert scale length, and wider fret spacing. Speaking of guitars: Players who are looking for a fuller and more guitar-like sound from the Zuma can easily substitute the octave G string for a low G string. In any case, a suitable gig bag to allow the Zuma to be transported safely is recommended.

Fun little thing, terrible quality.

UKEnoob 20.03.2025

I purchased this uke just to have something around to play unplugged. I wasn’t expecting much sound wise since I went cheap with the Fender Zuma, but honestly, even with low expectations, I was pretty disappointed with the build quality.

The frets stick out past the fretboard and are sharp enough to catch your palm or thumb when sliding. The sound hole looks like it was just drilled and left—no sanding, and there are splinters sticking out, which look and feel terrible. The bridge is just as rough, with sharp edges and glue visible both under the bridge and where the fretboard meets the body.

The action is super high and the neck is already bowed, straight out of the box.

All of this could have been sorted with an extra 10 minutes of care during assembly, but instead, it just feels like Fender slapped their logo on and called it a day. I’d definitely recommend looking at smaller, less mainstream makers who’ll put more love and effort into it—probably for the same price or less. This one really isn’t worth it.

really happy with it

I'm actually really happy with this ukulele, really fun to play and has a great sound, they're a few dings and scratches but not anything that major for me to return it. Really good!

Zuma Concert Ukulele, a good choice

Sep_8 07.04.2021

First of all, packaging was really nice and protective as it came and in two pretty hard carton. Astonishing full mahogany body with a beautiful rosette and iconic telecaster headstock. First impression was a way out of tune sound but not a big deal as tuning it is fairly easy. After you tune the Ukulele, that’s when the magic starts. You can enjoy hours playing this. Overall, If you’re looking for a mid-range Ukulele, Fender Zuma Concert Ukulele can be a fantastic choice.
