"YAMA-UKE" Baritone Ukekele. My first Ukelele build. Built this for a friends 60th birthday. Body is a metal side panel from a mid-70's Yamaha RS100 motorcycle.
Neck is Iroko and the fretboard is walnut. The pick up is a 8K toaster mini-humbucker with volume and tone knobs. I inserted a 1962 sixpence to commemorate the year my friend was born. The build provided a few challenges due to the uneven shape of the "body" but all came out good in the end
He loves it and can't put it down... mission accomplished.

Thanks AGP. It has been a while I will try to get on the Nation a bit more.
Thank you for your kind comments Derek and Doug.
"Cool Lookin' Build Bob", and nice to see you back on the Nation :-)
Very, very cool Ambrose! It’s easy to see why he won’t put it down.
Very cool!
That’s awesome, lucky guy!!
:)
Thank you Unc J...and it is great to hear from you. Yes, I have been trying to do those things you have written, haha. Been sorting my life out since I took early retirement last year. Music is developing and I need to start building a bit more. Sorry I haven't been on the nation for a while.
Bob! Long time no see! I hope you are biking, motorcycling and making music. This one is cute as heck and the first time I ever saw this done. I had use of a Yamaha Twin Jet One Hundred back in the day.
