Kuk, still a bunch of skill sets needed to complete this build though. And you still need frets, keys, nut, saddle, finish. However, it looks like he has all the basic wood parts included to help you get started. Jump in and get your feet wet! Hell, it's only $$...e.lo..I was thinking of getting one. It has bent sides but that is about it as far as whats been done. You will be able to make some choices too. I don't think it has a nut saddle bridge or tuners. I don't have much room to build a uke right now or I would have already got this.

Yes, I like this kit! A bit more pricey but I believe worth it for a novice builder. That is to say, it includes all the parts needed to complete your uke, along with some of the critical, tricky tasks already finished for you. It could satisify your desire to build your own uke plus have a realistic positive end result (i.e. a decent, playable uke that you built).Pete Howlett at www.uklectic.com sells 'em!

Maybe I should learn how to carve out a neck.
