I so want to build one, and I know how to build an electric guitar, but I have a few questions.
Rosewood or maple fretboard and neck? I'd imagine maple, because a uke is supposed to have a bright, twangy sound.
What pickup(s)? Humbucker? Single-coil? Wind it myself or just buy one for a bass?
Do I need the truss rod?
What strings will I need to buy?
Most importantly, how should it look? I'm thinking a Les Paul-shape body, nice teal-blue fade, painting on a couple hibiscus flowers, and then a french-gloss finish, with an an unfinished birds-eye maple board and clear-finish maple neck.
