Yes! That sounds awesome, I would love to see how that comes out. If you wanna go with a different shape, take a look at veracruz jaranas, those are mexican ukulele-ish instruments. The usually have slim bodies and wide necks. Hard to find them in the states otherwise I would already have several
. I managed to get my hands on a used huasteca jarana though and I'll definitely be modding a baritone neck onto that instrument. Since the body is almost the same dimensions, its just deeper. The neck on mine is all messed up, but the body is still intact so I might as well make something of it. Here's what those look like
Its kind of a soprano neck on a baritone body. But not having a real bridge led to mine having terrible intonation issues, so even more reason for me to uke-ify it.
