hi,

i thought it might be fun to start a thread where people can post pictures of ukulele' s they've seen- be them colourful, super expensive, or whatever.

so to start:

Yoshimura and Bosko show off the whole "lighting" uke here (thanks for the heads up, brad, that is crazyawesome!).

These are Swagerty ukes:

Apparently, you could use the top of the head to stab things in the sand or something? That's what I read, anyway.

Gus of GUGUG plays one here, so you can get a feel for the size.
 
Oh, and I almost forgot Duane Heilman's stuff (Black Bear), with my favorites being:

The "Harpulele":

The graphic novel uke:

Two different Picasso-styled ukes (so, so awesome!):

I'm a big fan of Dave Talsma's customs, especially this one:

Here's an entry you can actually bid on. It's on ebay a "Sonny Daze" electric uke.

Russ makes awesome instruments. He's a member here and I got a custom sopranino cigar box uke from him recently :)
 
I saw the Spam uke in a shop in Waikiki in 2000. I didn't play at the time but since I have taken up the uke I have tried tracking one down to no avail. I do remember it was priced ridiculously... then again it was Waikiki!
