The Zuma Exotic Concert Ukulele from Fender is a well-balanced ukulele built for comfort with SoCal vibes inspired by Zuma Beach that is nestled in the idyllic SoCal community of Malibu. The Zuma’s resonate satin-finished sapele body features a comfortable concert profile that offers a slightly fuller, larger sound than its smaller cousin the soprano uke. The concert size is still incredibly portable but speaks with enhanced volume, midrange, and sustain.

Quality construction means comfortable playing





The Zuma Exotic Concert Ukulele features a generous 16-fret walnut fingerboard paired with a comfortable neck for easy fretting. It’s an ideal choice for strumming on the go, and players with small to mid-sized hands should find the Zuma’s neck and string spacing suitable for fingerpicking. Additionally, the body’s sapele construction delivers excellent resonance and warmth on par with classic tonewoods like mahogany.





No-tie Fender bridge





This ukulele’s aesthetics take inspiration from Southern California’s picturesque Zuma Beach, but it also features several innovative Fender touches that remind us of what’s endeared musicians to the quintessential SoCal guitar company from the get-go. The Zuma Concert features a no-tie bridge for changing strings in record time with no hassle. Sweetwater players really love the way this no-tie bridge cuts out any need for tying complicated intricate knots just to change strings; it keeps the ukulele simple and approachable, just as it should be.
