Gotta Re-Do

I'm trying to decide what to do with my license plate ukulele. It plays somewhat decently, but I'd like it to sound better.

There is still a bit of buzzing from the license plate. At least I think that's what's going on. The action is too high because the neck is angled up slightly. I think I'll slice it off the body and cut an angle into it

I could cut it off close to the body and sand the remainder off the body. It's attached with two dowels, glue, and a screw. Getting the angle right is the first step. Then I can see how it sounds and do something with the license plate, if necessary. I have about $12 invested in this, so I can take chances.

It sure looks COOL!

The old saying in most design departments, “If you can’t make it work, make it look good.”

Right! Looking good is what attracts me to a uke in the first place. Then I check it out. I'm a sucker for something unusual.
