I am preparing to build my first baritone. I Have lots of professional woodworking experience and have played around with some instrument building, but I haven't tried building an acoustic uke yet. After looking at lots of post and videos I am wondering how to proceed. Spanish style, bolt on or dove tail neck. I think I have the woodworking skill to pull off any of the neck styles, but are there advantages of one over the other on a baritone?
I really love the Baritones built by Barron River and all of Pete Howlett's videos of jigs and molds. Do people ever use forms like Pete's but on a Spanish style neck like Barron River? It seems like a form would help out on my first attempt bending sides but I haven't seen anyone combining styles.
Thanks.
P.S. I owe Pete lots of dollars for all the time I have spent watching his great videos.
