With reso power plus a pickup it will sound great. I built a ukulele with a maple top and back about 1/4 inch thick. It is very quiet. It's acoustic. Some time I'll pop a peiso in her. She'll sing then. Say, for a first build, you are doing darn good if you'd ask me. Keep on...
Thanks for the kind words Dave. I hope it sounds good. I put the the top and bottom on today, got it rough sanded up. Have a lot of stuff to do yet, but it's coming along and I am enjoying my first build. I tapped on the top and bottom of the box and it sounds pretty good, but what do I know. Most of the guys said quarter inch maple was too thick for the sound boards, but I'm this far, and going to finish it the way I set out to do. Now after I build it, I have to learn to play it! Don't know which will be harder?
