Jazz Peanut
Before I started building this,
about three months ago, I
showed a drawing of it to my
daughter. She looked at it and
said, "Oh, a jazz peanut."
This instrument, inspired by the
Blue Uke, has a 16 inch scale.
Which is my concert size
ukulele. The neck joins the
body at the 14th fret, and is
reinforced with a carbon fiber
rod. (Which is the case with all
my instruments.) The back,
sides and neck are "fiddle back"
maple and the top is Engelman
Spruce. The radiused
fingerboard and bridge are
ebony.

The bone nut and compensated
saddle have also been radiused.
Mother of Pearl has been used
for the "R" headstock inlay and
the fingerboard markers. Side
dots have also been provided.
It has Gotoh tuners with pearl
buttons.
An Ameritage case is being
custom made to fit this

Jazz Peanut behind Blue Uke
Very curly maple back, sides and neck with a
Engelmann Spruce top. It was difficult to
photograph. Because of it's light color the
pictures tended to get "washed out." The neck is
made from the same wood as the back and sides
and has just as much figure, although it's difficult
to see in the pictures.

This is the second "concert sized" Jazz Peanut I've made. The sound is more robust than a
Blue Uke, as you would expect with a larger instrument. The scale length is my typical
concert length, at 16 inches, and the neck joins the body at the 14th fret. The radiused
fingerboard and bridge are ebony. Fingerboard markers, side dots and "R" logo are all
inlayed in abalone. The nut and compensated saddle are black Corian. It has nickel plated
Gotoh tuners.
