I've been wanting an electric uke for a while, and the RISAs really appeal to me, with their sturdyness and portability. Problem is, with my laptop dying a slow and painful death, I can't bring myself to cough up the 215€ for a concert solid.
So last night I had this idea:
Get one of these kits
and some wood from the hardware store to rig up a body-ish thingie. Stick on neck, fretboard and brigde, slap on a pickup and *bam* electric ukulele.
I've already got lots of stuff planned out, but I'm not sure about the pickup. I'm thinking about sticking a transducer directly to the brigde, from underneath. Is there anything to say against that idea that I should be aware of? Or might it actually work?
Thanks in advance,
Dirka.
