Thanks to Wokka for picking up the missed stain on curved part of head stock. Fixed.

Looking good.... Colour is great.
Decided not to show intermediate steps as they looked similar but here is pic of build after first top coat.
Neck on ready for electronics. And photo of cigar box uke side project
Looking great Peter! Love the colour. Kind of a Gretschy shade? Looks like it in the photo anyway. Nice!
cheers,
Gav.

Very happy. Soldered wiring and it worked first go. Only casualty, burnt hole in fav jumper. It is old and adds some character. Bit of a gripe. Had to "move" hole for 3 way switch a bit as it was not drilled in centre of rebate. Otherwise over the moon.
Looking very tidy. Jeez, the cherry flamenco sure looks orange in that last pic. How does the cbg uke sound? I've had all the bits to build one for months now, just need to find the time.

CGB uke sounds great even though only part finished (no sound holes yet). Was worried it would be dull cause box is covered in short haired shiny material. It stays in tune great and solid as. You need to brace box top a bit to hold tension and away you go. Waiting for piezo pickup and sound hole cover.
