Presidential Axeology pt. 5 – Chris Ballew’s 3-string ukulele

Presidents of the United States of America frontman, Chris Ballew has a studio full of stringed instruments…and most of them are modded in one way or another.  This Lanikai uke is suffering from a clipped string (totally intentional) and has been used on albums by Caspar Babypants, Ballew’s childrens music alter-ego.  Check out the sounds of the uke…and the way cool DIY video he made for the song, Island Hop.  (Ballew is a genius in simplicity.  One camera + a Sharpie pen + a Hawaiian vacation = the coolest video you’ll see all day):
