I don't know why I'm not really understanding the directions when it comes to using the Uke Thong with a Flea.
Can anyone clarify better?

Because there's no bout on a flea (or pineapple), the straps runs from the soundhole towards the fingerboard, under the fingerboard, around the neck, and up to your neck.
Hope that makes sense

Behind the neck - not back around it. Yes, that makes a lot more sense than the description Sambient quoted which I agree was completely vague and incomprehensible.

PaulGeo's description makes much more sense.
Thanks RevWill for reassuring me that that printed description was a bit muddled.
Of course, in the meantime I'd settled on a different solution for señor flea. I took advantage of that little hanger on the back and a lanyard type item with a hook that was around the house.
Still, good for me to get a good explanation on how to use the uke thong on a pineapple shape, because it's only a matter of time before I add a proper pineapple to the collection.

Using a hook lanyard with that little dealie on the back of the Flea's neck is probably way more comfortable than a crooked uke thong anyway. On my Fluke I would be likely to use Velcro on the back.
