Electric Ukulele

I made this over Winter 2018 at the Bellingham Makerspace of wood gotten just a couple blocks away at "Hardwoods to Get." I seem to think that material costs for the whole thing were only about $20, but I paid a lot more in membership at the Makerspace because I couldn't come in very often. I did have a place to fix things though, which was a plus.

It's a tenor. Cool features of note include the hardware store adjustable bridge, zero fret plus wooden string spacer, and stereo pots and knobs given to me by the notorious figurehead of a certain local Seinfeld-centric harsh noise project.

It plays pretty well, and definitely has acceptable action without buzzing for a ukulele. I meant to sell it, and probably will eventually...
