Looks fun! I hope it sings for you when you get it!

Looks to me like a Mexican souvenir guitar - I've seen both 4- and 6-string versions of these.

That's kind of what I was thinking. My daughter has a souvenir guitar from Cebu islands, Philippines. It is the same size as a concert ukulele but strung with 6-steel strings just like a guitar.

You enjoy it, and thank the wife.

Yes, looks very similar to that search. Interesting!

Well it arrived, and it's pretty bad!

Very thick out of tune strings that the friction tuners can't cope with, and the C string broke. The frets appear to be just raised wood on the fretboard, and the bridge is a bit of loose dowel, lol.

The good news is the colour matches our lounge so it'll get hung on the wall as decoration!

I wish I could source the simple tailpiece though as I wanna start making buscuit tin ukes.
