Old Guitar Converted to Baritone Ukulele

My dad's friend recently bought a house to renovate and re-sell, right down the road from ours. We got to go and look through the items that the last family left, and something really stood out for me; a beat up toy guitar. Although it had a couple stickers and numerous dents on it, I decided to take it home and see what I could do with it. After a few minutes, I decided to make it into a baritone ukulele, to add to my collection. The entire project took about 3 hours, most of which was spent scraping off stickers. I used the instructable by tewharau for inspiration. 

Step 1: The Guitar Itself

The guitar used is an old First Act guitar, specifically the "First Act Discovery." It has many dings and dents in it. A cheap guitar overall. It also had two large stickers on the front, but for free, what the heck.
