I don't know if I ever updated ya'll on the Goth uke project.
Well, I decided against the red pin stripe, I think it would have been too tacky and too gaudy. So, I just opted for the blood red rosette, and headstock design. Now, I know we talked about the Goth concept to appeal to a specific kid I had targeted for this uke, because kind of a subtle "Gothy" kid. He has seen this uke, and really likes it, even after I told him my inspiration for it, and it's meaning. With that, he thought it was even cooler knowing it's sybolism.
Now to get a little spiritual with ya for a moment. It is flat black which symbolizes the dark life, and road us humans are on. The blood red on the uke sybolizes the blood of Christ, and how that blood can remove us from our dark fate without him in our lives. The symbol on the headstock is one of the oldest symbols known of Christ. This symbol was before the "fish" or even the cross in Christiananity. I wanted something different than just the same old fish or cross symbolizing my faith on this. This symbol of "Chi Rho" is it.
Now, just need to put the tuners back on, strings and set it up. The kid doesn't know this uke is his yet..
Hope you like it..
