Hi! I don't know where to post it so, sorry for the double post... I had this idea, with a friend of mine who want to start out lutherie, to create a serie of "mianiatures". In fact, a series of steel stringed electric ukus, with strat, tele, les paul, flying V shapes. Really not expensive to do (recycle some scrap wood or mill ends, etc), fun and educative, and also quite easy to sell at a reasonable price, cause ''it's so cute!''. So, I have some questions here about the electric side of the project. Bridge: What type of bridge should I use? Are there existing bridge for ukus or should I use single saddles, or a fix acoustic type bridge& Tuners: I guess regular schaller mini would do it. Any other suggestions? Pick ups: Are they existing? Or should I make special order or take trancuder or other type of pick ups? Strings: Are they streel strings for ukus? If not, I guess regular guitare strings cutted to needed lenght would do it. Last thing... Truss rod? Neck reinforcement? Nothing? Just more heavier neck (from hardwood, or with laminates) Thanks!

Take a look at the shop store on www.hanalima.com. This is likely a good place to start looking for materials available. They deal mostly with acoustic ukuleles but Asa could likely set you straight on pickups. Bob |
