Fender Grace Vanderwaal Uke Review

I'd been wanting one of these for awhile,and I was delighted to find one on Amazon Warehouse for under $50! (normally goes for $109) The description said it had cosmetic flaws,but when it arrived I couldn't find any.  And I couldn't resist the cool headstock. 
    For a soprano,this little uke is loud. The neck is amazingly easy to play on,and I was able to do barre chords at the 1st fret with ease. The geared tuners are very good quality,and I found myself frequently turning them too much as I'm used to my other ukes. Intonation is good,the only drawback being the edges of the frets on the high part of the neck weren't filed properly and are a little rough on your fingers if you're sliding up. The neck features side dots,which I consider a necessity. It didn't come with a gig bag,which was a little surprising as if I had paid full price I would expect a gig bag to come with it. This one is the acoustic version,so I can't comment on how it sounds amped up. This Midnight blue model has become one of my fave go to ukes. If you have one of these and need a gig bag,you'll need to get a concert sized gigbag for it due to the fact it's longer then your typical soprano- 23".  I'd give it 5 stars,but due to the rough edge frets I'm giving it a 4.5 star rating.  #Fender #ukulele #uke
