Solid-Body Ukulele ( E-Chena Uke )

Coming down the shoot
  The eventuality of an electric/solid Uke, the E-Chena Uke, with a few tone-hollows for a hopeful
splash of tone.....Now prepping the primary template. Later to be Mahogany as primary core wood with a figured Buginga wood top overlay and a Mahogany neck...pretty much in the tradition of a modern electric guitar except for having a transducer pickup rather than a magnetic pickup.

The #32 Special Bass

     From the shop

   The #32 Special B,,,,,,32" scale ( lending a very comfortable playing posture with all the good tone ), Rosewood Bridge, Mammoth Ivory saddle, beneathe saddle is a transduce pickup, in the field is a magnetic Nordstrand pickup in the classic P-style configuration.
  The Primary wood is a walnut core with Oregon Myrtle wood overlay, the neck is a 5 piece walnut and Myrtlewood glue-up and headstock overlay of Rosewood. Also brandishing light weight Hipshot tuners.
The pickups are controlled via Master volume, a turn split between the two pickups and tone control.
The body shape is my own design.........it sounds warm and snappy....


On its way is ;  another lap steel  ( LSH#1 LapSteel Heaven ) , A Ziricote Acoustic ( North Rim )
and a Koa Tenor Ukulele ( The Chena Uke )

The body also has a hollow, making a tone chamber.....the darn thing looks edible.............
