Latest ukulele build

Post by chappy » Mon Jul 14, 2014 8:59 pm

Hi all,

Thought I would post my latest build, a concert ukulele.

I attended a Tim S. builders course in January this year and this is No. 5 and halfway through No.6 and just started No.7. I reckon this gets to be an obsession, a bit like the WAS problem.

Back and sides - Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle
Top - Huon Pine (also rear insert).
Neck - Blackwood with Antarctic Beech laminate.
Headplate, fretboard and bridge - Ringed Gidgee
Tuners - Gotoh SG 381 Mini Tuners in Black Chrome
Strings - Aquila
Headplate logo produced by Labels Extreme


This my first post with pictures and I notice they came out backwards.

Cheers

Alan

Oh, don't think of it as a problem, building instruments is just the natural way of simultaneously fighting and fueling WAS. :shock: :D :wink:
