#59 - Click the thumbnails below for full-size pictures:

#59 is a "long neck soprano" - that is, a soprano body with a concert neck. This is the first one of these I've built, and I really like it! It has chrome friction tuners and is made entirely of of maple, except for the fir top. Sounds great, and has tons of sustain.

It will fit in a soprano size Hohner padded gig bag (just barely).

Hey, I'm making a series of videos showing the various stages of uke construction, and #59 "stars" in some of them:

Glue on the fretboard and bridge
Dressing the fret board
Position dots
Make the saddle
Install the tuners
String it up!
