Guilele
Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2016 4:48 pm
Hi all,
My latest project is a "guilele": a 6-string tenor uke (17" scale) tuned ADGCEA. Or, if you prefer, a little tiny classical guitar. Fun, either way.
The body shape is my own design. I'm pleased with the way it turned out though I can't help but think it is on the quiet side. On the other hand, I'm not underwhelmed by the bass strings. Also very happy to say that it fits in my uke hardcase!
Anyway, specs are:
top: bunya with some subtle ripple figure
back and sides: silver wattle from Tim Spittle
neck: blackwood
fretboard: mineritchie (from Tim)
bindings: Jarrah (Tim again)
tuners: Gotoh classical
strings: Aquila
Thanks for looking!
