Jan 5: New instrument

There's been no progress on the guitar today as I have a new instrument. Four friction pegs? Must be an ukulele (say ooo koo lay lay). A concert size. LA bought it for me for Christmas, but they'd sent the wrong one - a soprano, so it had to go back. The right one arrived today and I spent my guitar building time fettling it. I cut the nut slots a bit lower, smoothed the fret ends, polished the frets, oiled the fretboard and lowered the bridge a tad. A set of new strings and it plays quite nice now. If only I could find the fourth chord.
