Elmo Uke

Just got back from my "niece".  I left her a guitar and a ukulele a few weeks back to paint on. I asked her to paint a picture of Elmo on the ukulele for the Beast, and it looked great.  It needs another clear top coat, and strings. I will post a picture as soon as I get them.

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
