"Thanks for taking the time to look and post favourable comments on some of my builds Rob, muchly appreciated, somewhere amongst all those builds, there are 4 Uke's and 2 Banjoleles :-)
Thanks Rob!
Hi Rob! Thanks for the compliment. I'm a ukulele man and just testing the CBG waters. As for the dye, I spent about thirty bucks on Evil Bay. Great stuff, but don't go buying some. I still have lots remaining, so you can borrow some of mine. Cheers, Bookie
Thank you, Rob. You, too. I mostly like making them. When I play it's usually a little baritone that's got a Spruce top, Rock Maple sides and back, a Maple neck and Sapele fretboard. The Rock Maple was a bitch to bend (I do it by hand over a heated cast iron pipe), but it has a really bright tone. I'm curing an all-Koa instrument now. Very excited about that one. Take care! Larry
Thanks Rob
Thanks Rob, likewise you build some very high end 4-stringers!
I hope you meant to say nice looking. : )
If so, thanks Rob! I dig your stuff too, your Risa uke is particularly awesome.
