Fender’s Surfy Tenor Uke
The Rincon Tenor Acoustic-electric Ukulele from Fender is a well-balanced instrument inspired by one of California’s most iconic surf spots — Rincon Beach. The turbulent tides of Rincon perfectly encapsulate the Fender Rincon’s premium hardware and richly finished ovangkol body. Ovangkol wood is resonant and strong; it has a swelling depth to its tone but without sounding overly dark. The Rincon’s comfortable tenor profile is great match for ovangkol. The tenor is a slight step up from smaller soprano and concert sizes, so it speaks with a slightly bigger voice and enhanced bass that make the most of this premium tonewood. In terms of playability, a 19-fret walnut fingerboard offers slightly wider string spacing which makes the Rincon a good choice for fingerpicking, strumming, or artists with bigger hands and fingers. Plus, its neck is built from sturdy resonant nato wood, with a modern “C” profile for easy fretting in any position.
