"Old Curvy" - I've almost completed this build. Just need to check and test the wiring, then make final decision on which string gauges to use. Adjust action to suit. I hope to have it up and "strumming" sometime next week...

Thank you for your kind words and interest, Uncle John.  Yep, Flatpup wound to 8k.  I'm looking forward to hear how it sings or squawks... depending on how I play it!  Ha ha... The back of the uke bridge is also "curved" to match.  Ambrose... Bro, Rosy, Amby... (St Ambrosia - Greek name Ambrosios meaning "immortal"... apparently).  I'm sure you would know a lot more.

It's sure looking good.  Curvy, swoopy top, Elmar, and a really nice finish on the neck.  Getting fancy on the saddle/bridge.  Ambrose?   I currently live near a German community and there are or were several old guys named Ambrose.  Most of them had nick names.
