Hi I discovered Marks channel a few weeks back and he’s become one of my favorite YouTube luthiers along with Ben Crowe and Matt and Chris at Texas Toast.

I’m a 68 year old living in North Carolina. I’m working up to building a guitar. Actually I’m considering a solid body baritone ukulele with either a Flying V or Moderne shape, including a homemade pickup or two.

I’ve been a guitarist since the dawn of the 1960s, first as a folkie then through rock to blues after a band mate turned me on to B.B. and E.C.

Thanks! Hope you find lots of useful info here and we can convince you to break out the woodworking tools... Once you get started it gets easier and more addictive! Let us know if we can be of any assistance.

Measure twice, cut once...

Hi there,

You'll have a lot of fun here and great support. It's a fantastic community and everyone is very helpful. I think I'm on pretty safe ground in saying that yours is very likely to be the first Flying V Baritone Uke build shared with the members!

Darren
