Although I'm sure many of you will hate me for this, I really want to build a steel string electric ukulele this summer. I really like the sound of it; however, I don't like the price.
The problem is, I don't really know what I'm doing. I know I need to use magnetic pickups but I don't know specifics (active vs. passive, etc.) Also would a mainland neck be able to stand the pressure of the steel strings and what should the body be made of and where can I find a body or materials for one. Finally how could I wire the pickup into the body with volume and tone knobs.
Would it be possible to modify a small electric guitar?
Again, I would appreciate any insight, even if it's to tell me I am nuts.
