This is a progress shot of a ukulele I'm building that was inspired by the BC Rich Mockingbird guitar.
Check out my facebook for more pictures.

Yeah. It's an acoustic. I can't wait to hear what is sounds like.
 
What an interesting shape! What is the basis for that, is it an improved tone? Or is it appearance? It certainly is an attention getter!

As you can see in the picture the original guitar is intended to be a solid body electric.
I do a lot of adapting solid body guitar designs to acoustic ukuleles. The quality of the sound always surprises me in a good way.
I admit traditional designs by trained luthiers using top grade koa sound better then mine. But my calling is to build completely one of a kind instruments inspired by Rock n Roll guitars.
 
I finished building my mockingbird ukulele.
Here are some pictures and a 30 second video.
