I liked the sound of the Uke played acoustically, so I added a few sound holes. I think it's a bit louder...

Yup, that's it 10, 13, 17, 10.  The pickup is a standard gold-covered single coil.  I did consider a lipstick pickup but this was cheaper.  I may swap it out for a better one in due course, although it sounds OK as it is.

So Diglydog....for strings 1 to 4: 10-A, 13-E, 17-C, 10-G ?  I love the lipstick pickup.

Thanks, Will. 

The scale length is 17 inches, which I believe is a tenor uke.  The strings are Roto Yellows (10s).  They are supplied with an extra top e, which I used for the high g.  Seems to work well.

The guitar machine heads and pickup were low cost from China on eBay.

Cheers,

Digly

Nice design and work!....What is the scale length and what gauge strings did you use?
