Introducing the Fullerton Series Ukuleles | Fender

collapse expand iconDescription

The Fender Fullerton ukulele series pays tribute to Fender’s iconic electric guitar body shapes. It departs from the traditional ukulele build and looks while staying true to Fender’s history. Down to the Telecaster ukulele’s pickguard, iconic Telecaster shape, signature finish and 4-in-line headstock, it’s a quintessential Fender through and through. The Telecaster uke features a spruce top with mahogany back and sides, which produces a rich and full concert ukulele tone. It’s also made with a maple neck and walnut fingerboard for excellent playability and response. The Telecaster uke sounds great on its own, or when plugged in, thanks to its onboard Fender-designed preamp system.


Fender Fullerton Telecaster Main Features:

  • Mahogany back and sides, laminated spruce top
  • 15.04" scale maple neck, 19-fret walnut fingerboard, walnut bridge, Fender 4-in-line headstock
  • Sealed nickel tuning machines, Fender-designed preamp system
  • Gloss finish


Spruce and Mahogany Tonewoods

Constructing this concert ukulele into the classic Fender Telecaster shape are spruce and mahogany tonewoods. With a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this Fender Fullerton Tele creates a rich and full concert ukulele tone. The classic Fender Telecaster changed the course of music history, and was based on the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar.

Classic Fender Headstock

The headstock on the Fender Fullerton Tele ukulele replicates the Fender Telecaster guitar’s iconic headstock shape, giving it an authentic Fender look. The 15.04" scale neck is constructed from maple with a walnut fingerboard for enhanced playability and response. The no-tie bridge makes string changes easy when compared to traditional ukulele bridges that require special knotting.

Fender-Designed Preamp System

Making the Fender Fullerton Tele even more electric is its Fender-designed, custom-voiced preamp system. This unique preamp incorporates separate volume and tone controls, along with a built-in tuner.

Other notable features of the Fender Fullerton Telecaster ukulele include sealed tuning machines, nickel hardware, a no-tie bridge, 1-ply white body binding and 1-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, synthetic bone nut and white dot inlays.

Really Fun Uke

I bought this Ukue outside of Baltimore about 4 months ago and I play 1-3 hours a day, consistently. This has greatly increased my quality of life. At this price point it's been well worth that money. I've compared the Uke I bought to several at various stores of the same uke model and noticed some aesthetic defects. For example the faceplate being a little crooked on those ukes. The one I purchased has a little too much glue inside the uke. I became even happier with this instrument after I started playing with an amp. It would be great if fender made another uku similar to this at a higher price point at the same quality build as their Guitar Stratocaster.

I ordered this ukulele new in box for my wife's birthday. The ukulele that arrived had obviously been a floor model. It had finger prints all over the body, there were three large cracks in the body and one in the fret board binding, and the tuner didn't work.

    I use it for practicing and relaxing. I would recommend this product to a friend or family. I find it very user friendly and comfortable. The build and paint finish is top notch. I was really impressed with the quality of this ukelele by Fender. It is Telecaster junior. priced right.

    This uke is heck of a lot of fun to play! It has really grown on me. I play guitar, guitele, and also baritone ukulele. This is my first concert size ukulele. I love the on board tuner and electronics. Such a cool musical instrument. Love rockin out with this baby!!! And the Butterscotch Blonde color is amazing!

    I bought this use on a "Stupid Deal of the Day." Really nice craftsmanship. I haven't tried the electronics, but the Tele-style is cool. The blonde looks very authentic. Very glad I made the purchase and I look forward to learning this instrument. I'm a troubadour and I've already figured out that the differences are more than similarities to guitar. Anyway, I gonna keep on truckin'. Cheers!
