Tele ukulele


Recommended Posts

So a friend of mine who plays Ukulele, wanted an electric ukulele in the shape of a telecaster. So I obliged by building him exactly what he wanted. One piece Mahogany body and a One piece poplar neck. A 4 pole single coil pickup with one volume and one tone knob. A top loaded 4four string bridge and some economy tuners. I made the neck plate and the control cavity plate out of 1/8 inch aluminum. The side dots and fret marker dots are also mahogany. I finished it with a can of shellac.

Haha! Is that a Telelele?

That's something I might want to copy for my brother-in-law. He got a Tele for his 50th so the shape is something he likes - and my sister started playing the uke a couple of years ago! And I actually have no plans for next winter despite having signed to the course...
