In this case that isn’t an option. This is a commission. I am working with my customer on his preference.

I don’t think that is the best option here. It is a tenor ukulele. It’s possible but I am not sure if it would look good or not. Currently I’m leaning towards inlaying a volcano shape since the burn is close to the centerline at the tail. I will certainly keep the sunburst in mind though.

MemberJanuary 26, 2024 at 12:20 am in reply to: Fixes for a buzzing truss rod?Thank you for all the tips. I successfully removed the neck. Determined the buzz/rattle is not the truss rod or anything else on the neck. Sad day.

MemberJanuary 25, 2024 at 12:49 pm in reply to: Fixes for a buzzing truss rod?Here is the truss rod inside the body. The loose piece of wood is what’s left of a toothpick I shoved in there to see if that would stop or change the buzz. It broke off and I can’t get it back out without removing the neck.
To circle back to one of my questions; Is squirting some rubber cement around the truss rod nut a bad idea?

Also, I cannot find any buttons or options to upload s photo; only text editing options or hyperlink.
