I just finished a long neck, extended scale length tenor, that I had been working on for a while. here is basically the entire build, in pictures. I welcome comments, or if you see an easier or better way of doing things, i'd listen. I'm going to not overly describe things here since I figure most of those who read this already know what the process is, but if anyone does want any more details I can provide them in future posts.
this uke has:
19.5" scale
solid claro walnut back, sides, head-plate and soundboard
walnut neck
ebony fingerboard (curly maple on 5th & 12th frets), bridge, & end graff
bone nut and saddle
zebra wood bindings
ablam shell rosette and faux abalone (celluloid) purflings.
here comes some pictures...
the sides fresh from my side bending jig, the bindings ready for bending, the top and back glued and ready for thicknessing
