May 15th, 2010 – I’ve always wanted to make my own guitar or, at the very least, modify one of my current guitars. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to set aside the time investment required. Well, if I had this Gakken Mini Electric Guitar kit, I might just find the time.

It’s a 4 string guitar (so more like a ukelele) and includes its own amp and speaker so you can play it without your Mesa combo. However, it also has a 1/4 inch output in case you do want to rock out with your rooster out…as the saying goes.

It’s available now for $60 from MakerShed. Gakken also makes the SX-150 synth that I picked up for myself in Japan.

    Dude! Fantastic find!

    I’ve always perused the Carvin ads and thought … one day, maybe one day…

    I think this would be cool – electric Uke! Ha!
