I have a Lanikai LU-21BE bariton uke. I think I paid $120 for it. Now that I've got that out of the way and can justify modifications on a cheap instrument with little to no resale value......
I'd like to remove the electronics because I'll never use the pickup. The battery tray rattles so I have a bit of cardboard jammed in there to silence it. I have no interest in using the pickup and would buy a nicer uke with a good pickup if I ever need amplification. I am, however, interested in a sound port. Those are usually on the upper bought and the electronics cavity on my uke is on the lower bought. Not sure how that would out as far as sound.
Cutting the wire back by the jack may be an issue as I can seem to unscrew the jack nut from the outside (it simply spins the whole jack inside the body).
Any opinions or thoughts?
