Welcoming :- Daniel Hulbert

You probably already know Daniel Hulbert from this amazing interview we did with him. When we did that interview we were surprised at how much time and effort Daniel puts in, and how much he loves electric ukes. So surprised in fact, that we asked him to join us and write up some of his next builds. We are glad to announce that Daniel has accepted this offer and is now officially one of the Electric Ukulele Land writers.

Thanks Daniel, I know already you have some very exciting stuff lined up for us and we all welcome you to our great rock and roll show!
