...during the re-stock process I have tinkered a bit with the neck design and have made it faster and more tapered at the top. There are three ready to go at 1207 Bloor St W, Toronto, or from me, here at ironuke@thegreatmush-uke.com
The nut is still iron, polished smooth and welded to a strap running under the fretboard. Between the top and bottom iron straps is sandwiched a Spruce filler piece, sanded to a perfect contour, stained and polished.
A bolt passes through for maximum strength (nowhere near the fretting hand!) The neck assembly is faster, lighter and softer.
The 'echo stem' is an enclosed Spruce hollow box, lightweight and resonant. The aluminum cone still resides on the steel ring welded to the support bar.
