I still say Gus is two strings

There are 2 Bo's I knows;

Bo Jackson

Bo Derrick

If that keeps me 2 strings shy of a full guitar, so be it.

No, there are 4 string guitars. Not sure what the technical difference is between a guitar and a uke unless its size. But their out there.

Good Luck
Dave

Bo Diddley has been jammin on the the old cigar box guitar for a long time...probably where it came from.

Sweet project Gus. My son will be home sometime in November as a young man of 21. He left for the army @18. Looking forward to spending some quality time with him. That truly is priceless.
