That’s a lot of humidity, I think I see some “fret sprout”!

Uke? I’m counting 6 simulated string end pins on the bar that looks like a bridge.
Hard Rock hotel, maybe?

Don’t forget the flaming saddle on the bridge. Meant to counter the humidity?

Come on--I'm sure you've seen seen a 6-string uke--Look at that short (tenor) scale -- and the body shape screams "tenor" to me--

I stand properly and cheerfully corrected!

That would be a torrefied top, good stuff there!

 

[ksiegel]

I think the bracing is a little suspect, though...

 

[Ottertail]

Yeah, fan bracing on the upper bout only?

 

[Cornerstone]

I see six holes on the bridge… it’s a guitar!

 

[DownUpDave]

Guitar for sure..........nobody makes that much money playing ukulele

 

[Ukecaster]

Neck rolloff would not be a problem, it might even be refreshing!

 

[ukudancer]

That's an interesting layout...I'm not sure how I feel about that setup being in the middle of the pool

Certainly not one I’d want a pack of little kids (or grandkids) cavorting in.

Even without kids...I'd want a swimmable pool should the mood strike. I guess they're thinking of it being a social lounge pool setup so the grill master / bartender isn't too far from everyone?

Is that a ukulele or a guitar?

Webb Pierce, one of the top country music stars of the 1950's/60's once owned a guitar shaped swimming pool...much to the annoyance of his neighbours.

Why were they annoyed? Was it too boomy on the low E or maybe hard to tune?

 

[johnpe]

The story goes that it became a bit of an unwanted tourist attraction in what was previously a quiet exclusive neighbourhood. Apparently Webb had a " if you've got it, flaunt it" attitude. Looking back, I bought a couple of his LPs so I helped pay for it !!
