I made this yesterday, Ukulele

timgreene · January 14th, 2007, 04:16 PM

I built this yesterday.

The wood is basswood, and poplar. The frets are brass rod superglued into little divots.

I need put on a laquer clear coat, and maybe a label, and fret markers.

The pictures are in my tdpri gallery.

The tone is a lot better than I anticpated, sounds just like my other ukes. http://www.tdpri.com/telephoto/showp...00/ppuser/3182

Hahaha, wow! That's great! I've got a cheapo Uke but I love it. Looks like it could be a laugh to build one. Good man yourself.

the bo didley thing crossed my mind, as well pete.

Thanks for your comments, cant do the sound clips now, cause the clear coat is drying.

i realy like the green burst, gives it a tropical look.
