Is that the left-handed or the right-handed version? Either way, I want one. Where did you find it?

It's $1200. I'll send you the builders email address if you are interested.

To me, that koa uke with the cute little fuzzy blue bear on it, leaning against that big wall connotates two words:

Target Practice.

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.

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?

Dave

After lunch with a box-a-lele you might want to read a book:
