Fender Venice Soprano Ukulele, Daphne Blue

I bought the green Fender Avalon. Great looking tenor uke. I'm primarily a guitar player but also play 3 string cigar box guitars tuned GDG. I like the head stock design with all the strings in a row on one side. So, when you replace the strings, they all go on the same way. I got a great deal on this. I decided that the standard tenor "reentrant" tuning wasn't for me. I decided to convert the Avalon to a baritone, meaning tuned DGBE. That tuning is the same as a six string guitar minus the low E and A strings. Much easier for me to relate to that tuning. I used the Aquila #96C set of strings, and they went on fine and sound good. I'm okay with the 17" scale, which is the same size as my Yamaha GL-1 guitelele. Anything tighter than that is a no go for me. I actually use a slide on the Avalon too. Thinking of putting a stick on piezo pickup on it. The only negatives are, no strap pins, and the fact that this comes with literally nothing. No case, tuner, strap, cleaning cloth, extra strings, etc. Also the finger board came super dry. Applied some lemon oil, and a drop or two of 3 in 1 oil to the tuner gears. Cool looking uke, sounds good, and plays well. I have a couple Fender solid body electric guitars too.

Amazing ukulele! It is so much fun to play! I bought it for my daughter and we have both really loved learning how to play. I will be buying nicer strings though. It didn’t hold a tune well the first few days but it’s tightened up and holds better now. Has a fun sweet sound! The color and feel are fantastic

I play guitar and my younger sister who has dwarfism really wanted to learn to play guitar like her older brother. However, there was no chance her hands would fit so I bought this for me and a smaller ukulele for her so I could use this one to teach her I Used to play ukulele so it wasn’t that hard to pick back up this thing very good and is definitely good quality I love the fender styling, and the Stratocaster style headstock the tuners Work as well as the tuners on my actual Stratocaster I think it’s a very well worth of money and sounds really nice for a ukulele. I find myself picking it up just playing Even when I’m not trying to teach, it’s definitely worth it

I purchased this Ukulele to help me get finger exercise and build dexterity in my hand. I'm learning to play guitar and dexterity is so important and the Ukulele gets your fingers moving. My instructors all said it's a great idea to get a Ukulele it's small and lightweight which makes it easy to get some finger practice. When watching TV during commercials I get practice time without having to get out my guitar. The Ukulele is just fun and you can make some really nice music even as a beginner and in my case helping me with my guitar learning journey. I highly recommend changing the strings right from the start. The strings that come with the Ukulele sound very dull. I was amazed the difference in the sound when I put Ernie Ball black nylon strings on gave it a nice bright tone

The item was what I expected with no problem except for the long delay for it to get delivered but that was an UPS issue.

Didn’t come broke so thats a win, has great sound and fell in love with it

I got the surf green one. It's beautiful and sounds great. Initially, it might not stay in tune, but I tuned it every day, and it became more stable and finally settled within a couple of days.

Very upset about the amount of flaws on this baby. I was very excited about getting this In the mail and the more I looked at it the more upset I was with it. I love the metal work and the classic fender design but I can't believe I spent this much money on something that was clearly slapped together and not thought about in the least. "grease"spots all over. I showed in pictures these spots that I thought was just because of the finish and was showing up because of my hands but they are in the paint job itself. They will not go away and there is a clear print of some sort that came out in the finish. Wood along frets. They are horrendous. Not sanded and puncture marks all up and down. I got a splinter with just taking it out of the box. No care was taken in making this Uke. Corners and edges are all sloppily put together and the sticker inside the Uke is peeling off ripped and has crumbled lines. I am very upset about all of these things.
