Walking Blues Guitar

Walking Blues Guitar

We call this instrument Walking Blues Guitar, others call her Giraffe, which we cannot understand. The size of the body is the same as a tenor ukulele★★. It is usually tuned in open G - fine for blues - and it is also small, so it is perfect as a travel instrument.

The soundhole pattern is quite something, but it prevents access to the inside of the corpus - something we only noticed later. That is why there is now a "service flap" on the back.

Nevertheless, this instrument is one of the most beautiful on our list.

The same people also claim that this instrument is an misshapen ukulele with a neck that is far too long - really mean.
★★ In truth, the body is exactly the same as Wannabe's, except that we have made the neck a little longer.

The sides are already glued to the top - now bindings for the bottom are glued on. good to have a mold.
