Some Concert ukes I just finished

Post by Paul Henneberry » Sun Sep 12, 2021 5:45 pm

Howdee,
Its been a bit quiet around here lately so I thought I’d post some pics of the batch of concert ukes I just finished. There is one made from dark figured Australian Blackwood, another from Mahogany, another from Cooba and Spruce and another from Lace Sheoak and Aust Cedar. The common specs are as follows:
• Fretboard Material: Mulga
• Scale Length: 15”
• Tuners: Gotoh stealth
• Strings: Worth Browns
• Bracing: Double X
• Pick Up: JJB prestige-220
• Finish: Mirothane 5555
• Rosette, nut , saddle and fret markers: recon turquoise

cheers Paul

Hi OutbackJack,
Thanks for the kind words. They are pretty cute and having made big ukes and little ukes I recon the 15" scale is the perfect uke scale.
I have just started collecting materials for another batch and was disappointed to discover that Gotoh have discontinued the stealth tuner. I'm going to have to design a different headstock as I don't think there is anything else out there to match how thin they are. Oh well, these things..............

cheers
Paul
