Eddie is a wonderful craftsman. He built an Electric Upright Bass for me in 1996 - it’s a wonderful instrument which he lovingly constructed having never built one before. I always get great comments when I play gigs about it’s superior tone and beautiful looks. Thanks Eddie
I have an Eddie Uttley electric guitar. Looks similar to a Gibson SG. The most wonderful instrument I have ever owned. He didn't build it for me, but I bought it off the guy who had it commissioned as far as I'm aware.
Found out a little more about that Ukulele that my mate has . Turns out that when George came aboard ship to entertain the crew . He brought the Ukulele with him to Raffle off and my mates Granddad won it ! The Tickets were a Tanner ,(Six Pence)
Great video, I've got a Ludwig Wendall Hall that I'm hoping to get Eddie to set up the action for us after the November 2018 convention, can't wait, excited.
Thanks for reply Eddie ,good job I did not try taking it apart ! Been trying play Scruggs Stile but not easy ,it was only a thought .I'm really on the look out for a nice banjolele ! would like an old one to renovate ,Problem is i'm in my mid 70s and not much cash , so have to get a move on ! but seeing you Guys along with Young stars like Lewis Clifton really gives me the buzz lol. a mate of mine who is a good Guitarist ,when I told him I wanted a Banjolele told me he had one in the loft ! his granddad had given it to him yrs ago But he wont let me have it . Now then , what he told me next I thought may be of interest to The George Formby clubs ,Apparently his Granddad served on an Aircraft Carrier in the Navy 2nd WW and George came aboard to entertain the crew ,granddads Uk has a picture of George on the neck and George Autographed it for him ! he wants to know if it would worth much ?
Try contacting Lewis Clifton, archivist of the George formby society, he might be able to help you there. By the way, we just did this video of Eddie, it's not actually Eddie advising you here lol..cheers Nick.
Great video. I'm wondering with Eddie's set up what's the ideal string height at the 12th fret, and also on the vellum where the neck meets the rim? Any tips appreciated.
How do you slot a banjo ukulele bridge properly? Anyone have any idea? The bridge on my Kmise banjuke is slotted terribly and does not hold strings in place. Please help! I want to play it so bad!!!
Hmmmm, something appears to be wrong with my banjo-uke: I have a Countryman DUB1, chinese, and when I play the E string on the first fret, it buzzes, but none other does....
thanks for all your replies guys ! as think I may have said I'm in my 70s and mad keen to start playing a ukulele aint got much cash ,so looking for a good old one I can strip and rebuild ! thats the sort of thing I like doing

How great of Eddie to do this! I got lost at "sliding bevel!"
Fascinating video, thanks for sharing! Never knew Fred Dibnah played the uke 😊

Brilliant video
Advice from the master himself!
Brilliant but I got lost with the heel adjustments. He is my hero!
Yeah, I listed over and over again and that was the conclusion I came to! Thanks for confirming.
Fantastic video! Does anyone have any information on the fishing line Edde is using on this uke please?
That was really interesting

This is a long shot, but did you figure it out? I just got mine in and the slotting is terrible for the high string

Hello Eddie what should the string height be at the strumming point ?
fincaman2 I was told 3-4mm. Personal choice really.
Thanks Angus, I found some of your tutorials very helpful
I have a Banjo ! would it be possible to swap the neck and convert it to a Ukulele
Not really Anthony no....the head is way too big on a banjo.
thanks for all your replies guys ! as think I may have said I'm in my 70s and mad keen to start playing a ukulele aint got much cash ,so looking for a good old one I can strip and rebuild ! thats the sort of thing I like doing
Is this the Eddie from somewhere at Rotherham?
It is yes.
Scottish Formby Group
Ahh, Thanks!
Eddie has worked on several of my mates guitars, I have one that needs work so I'll have to get in touch one day :)
Can I like this again?!
Well thats 12.09 minutes ill never get back
More fool you for sticking with it for 12 mins then
"Millimetres" NOT "Milly"."Milly" is a girl's name which can also be spelt "Millie". Then he changes from "10 or 12 Milly" to "10 to 12 inch".
And your point?
If you are explaining something then explain it properly.
@@ricban1950 it's explained perfectly well, however we weren't catering for the levels of stupidity that you clearly operate at.
