Why it matters
Fender's ukuleles exist mainly to put the logo on a low-price instrument, and the Venice is the cheapest of them. It competes with entry instruments from Kala and the dedicated ukulele brands, where the same money buys more purpose-built design. Buyers here are usually choosing on looks and brand rather than tone.
Note
Fender's entry soprano, with the Telecaster-style headstock. A branding exercise that happens to play acceptably.
Specifications
- Scale length: 345.4 mm (13.6 in)

Before you buy
- Basswood and a shallow body make it quiet unplugged
- Dedicated ukulele brands offer more at the same money
- Fender's ukulele line changes often, so stock varies
