Earlier this month Fender released a video announcing the Billie Eilish Signature Ukulele. It’s matte black and has a pattern made of Billie’s “blohsh™” logo, which is an outline of a lopsided stickman. Gerard Way, frontman of My Chemical Romance, has recently been given one of Billie Eilish’s Fender ukuleles.

On Sunday, he posted a picture of the ukulele in his garden saying how “rad looking and sounding” it is.

He goes on to say “I don’t normally play ukulele but I did in fact recently write a song called Ukulele Songs, which is about ukulele songs. I may share that. I’m not sure, but if I record it, I will use this ukulele.”

He intends on plugging the instrument into a “fuzz pedal” and seeing how it sounds. Hopefully, the results are cool enough that we get to hear it.

So one of my friends, favorite people in the world, and patron of the arts, Michael Schulz, worked with his company @fender to collab with very cool musician @billieeilish on her rad looking and sounding ukulele. They were kind enough to send this to B and Linds and myself so I wanted to post a picture of it in our garden. It has a really interesting pattern on it, and you can plug it in, so now I’m going to plug this into a fuzz pedal and see what happens. I may report back with my findings. It’s fun to play. I don’t normally play ukulele but I did in fact recently write a song called Ukulele Songs, which is about ukulele songs. I may share that. I’m not sure, but if I record it, I will use this ukulele. Have a good Saturday. Congrats on the uke, Billie!
