Very nice. Mine was made in Mexico. I really like it. It was a big step up from my pawn shop Epiphone special that has intonation and other more minor issues.Nice Tele. I have an American made swamp ash that I stuck some Joe Barden pickups in.

Nice. Did it come as a kit farp?
Impressive! Thanks for sharing.Here's a Baritone Ukulele I built
Nope, everything was from a raw piece of wood. I had some help from a guitar maker who is just 26 miles from my home. I spent 103 hours in his fully-equipped shop, about 1/3 of which was sweeping the floor and cleaning up my mistakes, lol. It has a radiused and bound finger board. The inlays I did myself. I inlayed the wood "E"in the ebony head and call the uke my "Wood-E." Woody is the name of my dad (may he RIP) and E is my initial for my surname. The top is bearclaw spruce. The back and sides are local walnut, from a tree cut down by the guy who helped me build it.Nice. Did it come as a kit farp?

It plays like a dream. I decided to try and build one because I couldn't find a decent player for under $500+. A local music store ordered in 5 (yes, five) different Kala ukuleles for me. ALL of them had strings that buzzed due to an "S" curve in the necks--terrible commercial ukes.
Beautiful job. My buddy's mom just gave him and his 5yo ukulele's for Christmas. I jammed on one for 45 min the other day and was surprised at the volume it put out. Sounded like a mini electrified instrument.Yeah, it says "Wood-E" and the guitar shop--Crow River Guitars. I made the custom label, too, lol.View attachment 5370
Have him play with linear tuning rather than re-entrant. It's an easier conversion to 6-string and better for finger picking. It's a great way to spend time by ones' self or with friends.Beautiful job. My buddy's mom just gave him and his 5yo ukulele's for Christmas.

Dude! I have something extremely similar though far fewer notes. Does yours have "gourds" underneath to resonate the sound too?
It's my buddy's. I'll have to ask.Dude! I have something extremely similar though far fewer notes. Does yours have "gourds" underneath to resonate the sound too?
