My first Uke build
I am nearly done with my first build. You can follow the progress on the album in my page.
The box is a Romeo Y Julietta. The neck is mahogany, the top is catalpa and the fretboard and bridge are rosewood. I've used the Kathy Matsushita web site as a guide. Its "mezzo soprano scale" (14 1/8 "). I'm waiting for my Stew Mac fretting file to finish them (there leveled right now, but pretty square in profile.)
