"Nadine" By Chuck Berry on my Epiphone Les Paul Uke

frankiej · Aug 20, 2011

This is my fa-vo-rite CB song. I did a setup on the Les Paul uke, making a corian nut and saddle for it, lowering the action and putting on a set of Nyl-guts. It greatly improved the tone and intonation, and probably gave it a 50% increase in volume, both electrically and acoustically. Hope you all have as much fun watching this as I did making it. Now, in honor of Chuck Berry, I'm gonna duck walk down to the ladies room and set up my hidden camera.

Oh yeah, as always great job. You ROCK!

Oh yeah! Thanks a lot! I'm pretty sure he did. I remember the big brouhaha about it when I was a young'un. It was either the ladies bathroom or maybe a dressing room. Maybe late eighties, early nineties. He might have even did time for it. Haha, father of rock and roll by day, perverted sexual deviant by night. Oh the duality.

A sweet rockin' rendition... thoroughly enjoyed the performance and overall sound. CooL!!

Frankie, that was most excellent!
My wife bought me a Les Paul Ukulele for my birthday - but I can't play it until my birthday arrives in November!
That sounded great, and now I can't wait to try some Zeppelin (The Lemon Song?) on it!
You are an inspiration...

Thanks for the compliment Pueo! Really appreciate it! Man, that would drive me bat feces to know I had something like that and couldn't get it for months! Post here when you make your first vid with it.
