haha. Oh yeah.

She's easily the best- can actually sing, AND has weird rapping friends and a talking Tom Selleck pillow!


There is a weird Ukulele trend going around it seems. There is a large clique of people at my school campus that walk around playing ukuleles inbetween classes etc. It follows last years moped trend too.....and track bikes before that.

Just for kicks, after reading all of this, I re-tuned a 5002v58 to approximate a soprano uke's tuning. The strings were the wrong guages for the job, but I think it could be done.

Kinda makes you wanna buy one
I played one of these a few weeks ago it was fun and kinda makes me smile maybe i should buy it the next time im in town....

There you have it Kenny! A Rickulele.........it's never been done yet (that I know of!).

Now, if you can just convince JH to start production.....

I mean......all these young cute girls dig the ukes! Let's let Rickenbacker lead the electric Uke market.


EDIT: Nevermind (pun intended! ) This cat already beat us to the electric uke. (and it's an ovation- ugh!) and it's dreadful :



But this little champ is a rad kid:

Here's a cute girl from my hometown on a uke.

She was on Scrubs the other night. As soon as I saw it I thought "I need to buy a uke!"
