Here's my next RondoMusic.com Hadean 21" scale bass uke mod. I wanted a finish that looked like the ukuleles in my group. At first I sanded down the original black finish, but the wood had no figuring. Then I went online and after some searching, found a thin, real cherry wood self stick veneer. I brought it over to Pat Wilkins and he did a great job of applying and finishing it glossy (the photo does not show the actual grain in the wood).
I then took it to Eric's Guitar to add all the hardware I supplied; a Korean fully adjustable piezo bridge with a pickup on each saddle, Gotoh light tuning machines, Hofner style tailpiece, Strat top hat pot knobs, preamp on/off switch and Kala/Galli 23"strings. As always, Eric and Billy did a great job. I had a set of sound hole stick-ons made with a rosette that matches the binding, which I'll use on other Hadean mods. I might call it Veneerelele.
