Nice sound holes


Would you mind if I used that design in one of my builds?

not sure if you were meaning the soundholes in the Edge uke by me, but you know, we all learn and get ideas from each other- heck yea, use the soundholes and even make them better. Not sure if you noticed, but the soundhole on the top- the center part broke out. I didn't think at the time to break out the bottom one to make them match. LOL

I noticed but it's great design. It's given me a cool idea based on yours. 

cool, I look forward to seeing.

My Lil' Phillies cigar box Uke. Skeleton Key bridge, antique strainer ladle for tailpiece and a button fretmarker. I put a keyhole in the upper side as a sound hole. I matched the headstock with the box with paint and "P" label from the inside of the box.

Build #58 Island Jim #TWO electric uke. Oak fretboard and neck, black Walnut nut and bridge, 15 inch scale, friction tuners, 6pole single coil pickup with tone and volume. I used the 1, 2, 3 & 4 strings from a regular pack of acoustic guitar strings and tuned them to C,E,G & A. Shout out to Scott Thibeault for the help with that.

Nice adjusted bridge there 

Padron Uke, Concert Scale...

A couple of mine !!

Here's my addition. Handmade neck and fretboard, upcycled uke bridge and tuners. Custom paint by my student Cassandra. We call it "Full Moon Fever."

Oh, and it's electric!

Uke I made for my wife for Mother's Day this year.
