Very Clean looking.
Great Job.
Did you use friction pegs? I would like to see the back of the headstock. I really like this.
Golden brown texture like sun..
Here's a little something for you guys to try out. C3 G3 C4 G4. Top 4 strings from a normal set. This is my usual baritone ukulele tuning. The 3 bass strings are the same configuration of a standard CBG tuning, the top 3 strings are the same configuration as my standard tuning of a CBG. It's all a bit upside down and a lot of fun to play like this.
For all you guys thinking about building a shorter scale 4 string thing.. Consider that you can tune it to a ukulele, mandolin etc etc..
wrong picture, here's the neck. Oh and those frets after the 12th are 'just intonation' just to spice things up a bit for solo players :)
The first picture is after I replaced the bridge. This picture shows the bridge I used to test it out. I had to wait on a replacement. Top picture shows the fixed bridge. I had to use this old one to test out the electronics.
