Here is my 5th ukulele build: a Stewmac Concert
I am using this build to improve my inlay and binding skills, and to work on correcting mistakes made in previous builds.
Here is the plan:
- add ebony fretboard and headstock overlay
- fabricate bridge from a block of ebony
- MOP trapezoid inlays on fretboard @ frets 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, and 17
- gloss nitro black finish on top
- dark brown mahogany stain on sides and back
- cream bindings throughout
- MOP "S" inlay on headstock
