Location: 6 String Ranch | I remember seeing years ago in Maui a red and a green tele shaped ukes. I wish I'd bought them. I completely agree with Dave, I love seeing this really outside stuff. Guitars have too much tension and require some really good construction. These can be put together much easier.
Dave, send me the guys info please.

Location: Phoenix AZ | Bill, Here's the one I really want:
I'm going to visit the builder in a few weeks. Not about this double neck, WAY too much money. But about a more standard tenor design. He's in Santa Cruz, about 1 hour from one of my customers I have to visit. Maybe I should also go to SLO and see Marc Schoenberger ???
I have to find the name of the builder of that blue/white one. I think he's in San Fran. I'll send it to you.
Here's another cool one. Made out of kids old style lunch boxes. Name of the company is Box-a-lele. They have all kinds of designs.
Opens from the back so you can actually carry your lunch in it. You can even get an a/e version wiht a second lunchbox that is a small battery powered amp. How can you NOT love this stuff?

Brad - I'm going to add a section to my webpage for "Ukulele Carnival" with all these crazy uke photos. There are many, many of them.
