[mick_e]

Every project in this thread is amazing. Who built the starcaster body?

[finboy]

Paul aka stereordinary.

I am working on uke chords to try and get a demo, it really is a weird tuning but if nothing else it is teaching me new ways to play chords.

Does the scale/tuning of the uke have any relation to a mandolin? Aka mandocaster?

Not really, though it is somewhat inspired by it. Warren Ellis Released hit tenor guitar which he was somewhat inspired to do so by the mandocaster and Eastwood mandotele. I found out about this guitar in Hawaii while on vacation, but wasn't a fan of the price or my prior experiences with Eastwood. After learning a bit about uke tuning on my vacation, I decided on the plane that it might make an interesting alternate tuning on guitar, as such, this project.

Nice. To utilize the unused pickup selector you could install a piezo bridge like fishman make so you can swap between electric and acoustic sounds..

[mick_e]

Actually scratch that, forgot about the size.

Looks great! Wouldn't mind having one of those myself!

Where did you get that bridge? what's it called?

[finboy]

Bridge on the tele is standard guitarfetish.com stuff

[Mdots]

Hmm, I was referring to the bridge on the telemaster-y guitar.

[finboy]

That is one of the roller bridges from gfs, I think wilkinson?

[Mdots]

You should upload some more pics of the telejazzy to drool over.
