So it can be done

I think the whammy bar officially makes it a toy guitar...
It's also steel strung. I think it's probably more a cavaquinho/machette than an Ukulele.
Well when its all said and done....
This brings me back to my ?????
If you take a Tenor Guitar and string/tune it gCEA "renterant" is it not now a Ukulele?

If this is a "toy' guitar and not a Ukulele then what is a Lap Steel Uke???
It has steel strings.

And wouldn't a Low G Ukulele be a "Toy" Guitar also then???
So follwing this line of thought the only "real" Ukulele is my beloved Soprano's!!!!!!!
Just because something CAN be done, doesn't mean it SHOULD be done! I can't believe that after 60 or so years of development, anyone is still putting a Bigsby style trem on ANY new instrument - it's guaranteed to go out of tune. Either give me a locking trem (for divebombing stupidity), or a Jazzmaster style "floating remote tremolo", for more subtle stuff.
