I scored a rare bargain on the auction site last week: a Fanner electric #ukulele. These are solid body ukes with steel strings and magnetic pickups, basically an electric #guitar in a tenor ukulele scale. Here it is beside the Risa LP which I’ve had for a while.

I may get around to writing a blog post about them one day.

The Fanner plays beautifully (though I don’t!). I like the sound of its pickups much more than the Risa.

The distressed wood finish wouldn’t have been my choice, but at least it seems to be genuine recycled wood with real old paint, and not some artificial relic work.
