FENDER Made A $50,000 MINIONS Ukulele, And It Can Be Yours

Minions have been inescapable ever since their introduction in the Despicable Me movie over a decade ago. And not just in the movies either – they’re all over social media, in memes, commercials, and probably slowly invading your actual thoughts. That’s just how it goes. Now Fender has teamed up with the animation studio Illumination to create a handful of custom Minion guitars, all of whose proceeds will go to music education programs in Los Angeles.

All proceeds from these unique Minions creations will support the FPF’s music education programs with students in Los Angeles.”
