DIY Electric Ukulele From Scratch

[@shakatac]

Impressive! I recognized everyone of the songs you played. Admittedly, i don’t recall the titles. Great job. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥇💯

Thank you, I appreciate that!

Due to the small size I'm guessing you only have one pickup rather that both a lead and rhythm pickup? Stunning build btw

[@AJStarch]

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching Adam! You’re correct about the pickup. I used a single humbucker but I have the two coils wired separately to the switches so I can get different sounds. I can run it as a straight humbucker or either coil separately and I can also run them out of phase. Not the same as having two pickups I know but at least there are options. Honestly most of the time I just leave it as a straight humbucker.

Super nice build. Great job. Oh btw I have the surf green strat. Love it.

Nice! Where did you got that template for body?

[@AJStarch]

Thanks! I actually made the template myself. I found a dimensioned drawing for a Fender Jaguar guitar online and then scaled it down to a tenor ukulele size.

How did you get the intonation right, between the string gauges, the frets and the length of the string?

[@AJStarch]

I used an online calculator where you entered the scale length and it calculated the distance between the frets. 3 of the four string have pretty good intonation and but the C string is a bit off. I’m getting ready to try different gauge strings and to lower the bridge saddles to correct it or at least make it acceptable. Thanks for watching!

@@AJStarch Thanks, I'll have a look l'm trying to make my own electric ukulele too. I hope mine turns out even half as good as yours. It's awesome dude.
