Looks really good. How does it play?

I'm not a player but will be in contact with one today at church.  I think it sounds cool but nothing like an acoustic uke. I need to get some nut files to make a better nut for this.

After church my friend who gave me the lead on making this played it a little.  Smiled the whole time and sounded great.

Very, very cool! I bet that's a kick to play!

What a cool idea! I made a (full size) tele last winter.... Maybe I should make a "little brother" for it also? Does it have a "uke" scale, and will you use standard "uke" tuning? Thanks for sharing...

Thanks for the compliments.  It is concert scale with low G tuning (G,C,E,A), not the re-enterant (g,C,E,A) tuning like some acoustics).  I also have built several full size teles and have a few to finish now.

Extremely nice looking little Tele.  I know lots of guys on Ukulele Underground would love this.

This is awesome! Excellent job! I am going to have to try winding my own pick-up, now. Thanks for the incentive.

Just finished another one.  A little better than the last one.
