Thanks Wall-e Putin.

I thought that too Turtle, you could do a violin shape.

You can make this body with a scroll saw and a round end of a belt sander.

I traced a ukulele then expanded it 2 in.

Cool - reminds me of a little of a Hofner.

Thanks bug, Danny, simple but effective I can see making reso or acoustic guitars like this but glued instead of screwed.
