If you have problems with killing batteries because you're leaving the amp turned on, there's a way that you can fix that problem. Replace the mono output jack with a stereo output jack, then wire the negative side of the battery to the ring connector. When you insert the mono plug from your amp, the ring connector on the stereo jack will connect the negative side of the battery to ground and power up the amp. When you remove the plug from the amp, the battery is automatically disconnected, powering off the amp and saving on batteries. It's a very common trick used on guitars, but you've got to know your way around electronics, batteries, and soldering irons. If not, you can just leave a note in your case/gig bag that says "Amp Off!" Nice work.
Excellent video. My taste for the pattern is that it's a bit busy with the pearl pattern on the pick guard. I'd do either a solid wood pickguard, black, or white. But that's all subjective. Links for strings please?
So I was watching this again because I'm think of making a baritone ukulele myself (might end up being a tenor guitar, not sure yet) but what's the name of the tune you played after Lafayette Lilt? You play it in a lot of videos but I can't remember if I've seen you name it anything
Could you please tell me the name of 2nd to last tune you played so I can find a tutorial on it I have been hearing you play it for a while now and I love it and want to play it myself. If you could please tell me the name it would be greatly appreciated.
Fantastic! I searched specifically for "solid body bari uke" and was not disappointed.
What a cool UKE ! sounds really unique , and I'm digging the boomerang laminate pattern , retro !
Thanks for watching. I also love the boomerang pattern. I’m planning on using some of the leftover laminate to make a little soprano uke.
CircuitsAndStrings You can use any set of Baritone Uke Strings (Low D Tuning set w/ 2 Wound Strings would really rock)
Very Danelectro-esque, I dig it!
You know your guitars. This is modeled after a Danelectro Dano Pro.
Very nice, as usual!
Thanks for checking out the video. This was a fun project.

That’s a good idea. I’ve done something similar on other instrument projects. It’s great way to not kill batteries.

Unfortunately I’m not sure where to get the strings right now. They were sent to me as part of this custom one-off build.
Is this a kit? Who makes an electric baritone ukulele or tenor guitar kit? Great video!
This one was all handmade. I know of some acoustic ukulele kits, but not electric ones.

It’s a song that I have never really given a name. It’s placeholder name is “Break-a-wave”, but that sounds a little cheesy to me. 😆
THIS IS NICE

I Keep watching videos like this; I might retire as a Luthier
It is a fun and challenging hobby.
Can u pls build a ukolele like paul mccartney bass guitar (hornef 500/1 ukolele version) same color :)
That would be a cool ukulele.
@@CircuitsAndStrings thanks mr :)
How about a longhorn ukulele (modeled after the longhorn guitars and basses by Danelectro)?
I do really like the look of the danelectro longhorn. Maybe someday...
CircuitsAndStrings I have a longhorn bass from the 1960s. I love it a lot.
Maybe you should make a lyre (guitar) ukulele after you make the gypsy jazz ukulele.
That’s a good idea. I might do something like that after I make an acoustic harp ukulele.
@@CircuitsAndStrings cool!
Do you prefer set neck electric ukuleles, or bolt on neck electric ukuleles?
I really like bolt on necks. They are much easier to replace or repair later.
CircuitsAndStrings agreed! That’s why I like bolt on necks too!
