This thing is totally off the hook. What a piece of art.

I haven't got any immediate plans to build a steampunk type build, but when it's done right it is pretty cool lookin'. I think with anything the key would be, to make it look like the parts you do incorporate look like they have some underlying function, and yet not clutter the thing up to where it becomes kinda cartoonish.

I kinda like it, but my main problem with steampunk is how busy it is. I think it would be better without the clockwork stuff set in on the top near the neck.

Oops, I meant to say Uke... It's kinda styled like a mandolin though.
