Thanks. I have it tuned to low G now but I want to try replacing the low G with a high g.

I'll have to build one in a double neck.

Very nice, the build, sound, style and technique. Well done.

That is just plain nice! Beautiful tone that doesn't sound exactly like anything else either. Some fine playing too. And I don't think the pickup lessens anything. It's nice to hear some really clean sounds for a change.

Thanks for all the kind words. The pick up is kind of weak but I wanted to keep that Danelectro look and it works for a clean sounding uke,
