Soprano ukulele kit
I got a nice mahogany acoustic guitar kit from Stewart MacDonald awhile ago but I haven't started it because I didn't want to try out my fledgeling luthier skills on such a nice kit. So I looked around for and found this Grizzly soprano ukulele kit for $25!
The body is made of mahogany plywood and has some nice grain on top. The neck feels nice and solid but the fretboard is pretty cheap. The instructions look minimal but there are a few sites describing building these kits out there (and now there is one more!). This site describes modifications made to the exact same kit. I'm not quite that ambitious, but it certainly is inspirational.
