It looks like an electric guitar, but count the strings. Yes, it is a solid body electric ukulele. This is a Exosphere model from Fanner Guitar Works. The company is based in Cape Town, South Africa, but they ship worldwide. Fanner offers a number of models. They have inventory ready to sell, although Brian and Mark Fanner are more than happy to work with you to produce your custom ukulele.

The extra screw hole is for a tremolo bar. I forgot to put it on when I began shooting. It'll be there in future photos of this uke. I like that term, 'bridgelets'. Soon after manufacturing this one, Fanner began using a bridge that had individual adjustments for all four strings.
Do I see a fitting for a vibrato handle? Oh, the possibilities... ;)
Fender called that shade "sonic blue" in the custom-colour era of the 1960s. It was the lightest of the three blue shades that Fender offered; Daphne Blue was a sort of robin egg shade, and Lake Placid Blue was a rich, dark metallic.
I think it's neat that Fanner replicated an old Fender colour for this nifty little machine...gives it a certain "old Fender" vibe!
*guitar nerd out* ;)

That's exactly what you see. As I mentioned to Perfesser-Bear, I simply forgot to install the tremolo bar when I began shooting. It'll appear soon.
Fanner did indeed market this as a 'sonic blue' instrument. I wasn't aware that they used Fender's name for that shade. Fanner's site showed off one of these in a super-looking burst, but I was hooked on the vintage look of this baby.
