Quick freebee build for a uke lovin' friend. She likes yellow and red and bling, hence the yellow Cuesta-Rey box with red tuners and red cigar band fret markers. Sound hole covers are earrings found at thrift store. Who says the good things in life aren't free

Love the idea for the sound hole covers - simple and it works!

Thanks for the comments, Bluesheart.  Yeah, not much acoustic sound to speak of, which is why this one has an undersaddle piezo pickup installed.

Excellent job and a great look. I love those boxes although the tops are kind of thick. I'm sure she was thrilled!

Good enough that I spent a whole damn day driving all over Knoxville to find a suitable red cigar box.  My friends are valuable to me, but the ones that love and inspire my musical endeavors are priceless.

Must be a good friend!

Nice!

Thanks for the positive input.  Unfortunately, my instruments are always given with no strings attached.  Haha

That's real nice Rick. I usually charge my friends at least one song for a free instrument.
