Free plans for my solid body electric ukulele:

Very Clean looking.

Great Job.

Tambourine headstock

Did you use friction pegs? I would like to see the back of the headstock.  I really like this.

Thanks, no they are regular uke tuning pegs. I'll try n get a pic of the back after work today

Pineapple uke!

Lost your images!

Golden brown texture like sun..

Here's a little something for you guys to try out. C3 G3 C4 G4. Top 4 strings from a normal set. This is my usual baritone ukulele tuning. The 3 bass strings are the same configuration of a standard CBG tuning, the top 3 strings are the same configuration as my standard tuning of a CBG. It's all a bit upside down and a lot of fun to play like this.

For all you guys thinking about building a shorter scale 4 string thing.. Consider that you can tune it to a ukulele, mandolin etc etc.. 

wrong picture, here's the neck. Oh and those frets after the 12th are 'just intonation' just to spice things up a bit for solo players :)

The first picture is after I replaced the bridge. This picture shows the bridge I used to test it out. I had to wait on a replacement. Top picture shows the fixed bridge. I had to use this old one to test out the electronics.

My Flower Box Uke.

Dangit. The uke I'm building now will be plain, boring, and probably not finished in time!

My first and only uke at this time. Made this for my wife years ago.
