Waiting for poly to dry.
Made a bridge AND tailpiece for the uke out of a salvaged Telecoustic bridge. The pin holes will make nice tie-anchors for the strings. They're a little widely spaced so I added some string guides (screws).
I used the other part of the bridge for a bridge. flipped the original bridge since it was compensated so I could use the flat part. Epoxied it in place in the original wood slot, cut it to size and it's almost ready. One I fit the neck and strings I can see how high the bridge is and sand down the bottom if needed.
Scavenged the nut off a Mahalo uke.
Added a drain cover sound hole and cabinet pull handle for a handle.
Need to run to the Shack for a 1/4 jack so I can wire up the pickup.
Tomorrow it should be finished!
