Fender Dhani Harrison Signature Ukulele
Submitted for your consideration.
(Outdoor scenes obviously filmed on a typical English summer day . . . ;) ) |
NO idea if these will be any good.
i don't even play uke, altho i'm considering. i like how they look, they're plugin/amp ready, and i love that 3/4 body depth. i don't expect that they'll offer the very best tone for the buck, but i could be wrong. regardless, i think they look FUN, and to me that's a huge selling point. ymmv. |
"It's a real rite of passage when you get handed your first Signature Model."

Interesting choice of words. He seems like a nice enough fella, but he "got handed" his first signature model for the same reason he's gotten handed a whole lot else.

My Dad died two years ago at 91 and I was 61. You have no idea what I would give up to spend another day with him. Don't be too judgemental of Dhani's genetics. He didn't choose them. |
Not disparaging the guy (he is talented, but I seriously doubt he'd enjoy the same status if not for his lineage) but this kind of seems to me to be another example of a fortunate son being born on third base, and then being treated as if he hit a triple...

And I think Dhani seems like a good guy with a good heart, no knocking his DNA on that count. But I can't believe that Fender left that line in. Well actually I can, it's a marketing piece, not a documentary. But to allow him to not only say "get handed" but to follow it with "... your first signature model," makes him appear both entitled and clueless. And I don't think Fender would have sold any fewer ukuleles by leaving it out. |
So...you guys are bothered, mad, put out, whatever that George Harrison's son got a signature model ukulele from Fender...and an INEXPENSIVE signature model at that. If this ukulele was a $2,500 retail item, then the howls would be of a different thought, but howls none the less.
With everything going on in this world, this is a pretty sad thing to get wound up about:rolleyes: |

One has to wonder what Fender's motivation was here. It's not like Dhani Harrison has millions of fans that are that into his music, and ukuleles are not exactly a hot item in general.
Maybe they're trying to butter him up so that he signs a deal for a George Harrison signature Strat or something? |
