Blackwood and Cedar Baritone Uke

[Allen]

What I call my long neck baritone. Scale length at 22 inches.

Made with figured Australian Blackwood and a Western Red Cedar soundboard. Curly Maple rosette and Gidgee bindings, fret board and head plate veneers. New Guinea Rosewood neck. Schertler tuners with a K&K Aloha Twin pickup installed. Satin gloss lacquer finish.

Looks fabulous Allen (as usual)!
Is that an oval soundhole? If so, how did you do that?
Thanks,
GregL.

[Allen]

Yes, it's an eliptical sound hole. Tiles cut on my laser. The rest is done on the CNC.

I really like the cedar and blackwood combo. The long neck design has jumping back and forth between the neck and the bridge. Am I crazy or do the proportions remind you of a bass? Anyway love it, beautiful uke

[Allen]

Certainly does give a different look to a uke, and yes, after watching that video that Nick posted about building the Hofner Bass I can see the similarity.
