Here's a fun little Frankenstein instrument I finished last Spring, consisting of a modern "Cigar Box" style neck on the body of a Soviet child's guitar. The end result is a beautiful little Tenor guitar or steel string baritone ukulele, with a 510 mm scale length and 35 mm nut.

The underlying guitar was of surprising quality including a solid spruce top, and the resulting instrument plays brightly and easily both in CGDA as presently tuned or in DGBE.

Presently set with moderate action to maximize volume, I'm happy to set it up as requested after purchase. There's a nice tall saddle on a full height bridge. I can include the original 6-string neck if requested, though it's missing tuners, but both neck are bolt on, so could be interchanged with some additional effort.

Please note significant pickrash to the front and that the heel of the added neck fits within the prior heel pocket as pictured. But hey, that's why it's a folk instrument!

Ships fast, well protected, and fully insured.
