In between guitar builds I’ve managed to get the solid body electric ukulele out of my head and into reality, never done a from scratch build before so this was a challenging gentle but so much fun project. Found some bits of wood that looked like firewood, after cleaning it up I found beautiful European oak for a through neck and some camphor laurel with beautiful grain and a few holes in it which I filled with coloured resin for the rest of the body. Put a passive peizo under the saddle and hey presto it works. It’s been a real treat to make this instrument just as much as playing it.
