The Baritone Ukulele I have been working on for a month or so. The token black iron piece looks good so I will try making more for future builds. A few other firsts were the pizeo embedded into a wooden bridge and a scarf joint head stock. I got the fret board from deltagrooveguitars.com and had never installed and dressed frets for a whole instrument before.

The pizeo embedded bridge works great but cannot be lowered enough to give a string to fretboard distance that allows normal playing so it is a slide guitar mostly. I will keep working on that and may get the distance down but may not get it down enough. This is a baritone ukulele for my Grandchildren. The mistakes are as many as the successes. This is my 4th guitar and first 4 stringer. I will keep it and do another as I want theirs to be better, and Christmas is a ways off. I will probably use a humbuckler pickup instead of the setup used here. Lower bridge will be a breeze then. Mistakes are many but I did learn from most

These are my first partial build. I got a basic guitar from C. B. Gitty and modified it as shown.
