The exciting news was announced through Fender’s Twitter. To add to this thrilling news, the ukulele will be the exact same model that Eilish plays on stage.

The signature ukulele features Sapele (top wood) top, back, and sides, finished in matte black, adorned with the artist’s trademark ‘blohsh’ symbol and Fishman® Kula preamp, “for those looking to plug in”, as stated by PR Newswire. Take a look at the video below if you want to see the ukulele more up-close while Billie talks about her experience and connection to the ukulele.

As reported by Bandwagon, Billie Eilish and Fender are also donating to the Aloha Mele Fund, a newly-establish fund of the Hawaii Community Foundation, that supports coronavirus relief efforts for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities in Hawaii. Fans may also donate to the effort here.
