I find the two instruments very similar. I'm no expert, but when playing the two back to back the only real difference to me is the tenor guitar is twangy while the baritone is warmer.
I know even that statement is subject to debate, but setting that aside let me get to my question to those more informed than me:
Since, in my mind at least, the two instruments are so similar, can I make the guitar into a ukulele? What if, for example, I find a really great tenor guitar. Can I take off the steel strings and put on some Worth baritone strings and have for all intents and purposes a baritone ukulele?
I know I cannot do the opposite since a ukulele isn't made to withstand the tension of metal strings, but can anyone think of any opposition to ukufying a Blueridge or an old Martin tenor?
