Here is a age of Manufacture and Builders for electric ukuleles.
There are a few builders and manufactures that make solid body ukuleles that look just like miniature Fender Telecasters or Gibson Les Paul guitars.
Risa Ukulele of Germany is one of the leaders in production of electric ukuleles and was one of the first to offer a solid-body electric ukulele.
Depending on the construction, a solid body ukulele might be able to use steal strings.
( Curt ) I have an Airline Mandola - Seafoam Green that is a 18in(457mm) scale length. Really close to a standard 17in(432mm) tenor ukulele scale length so I removed four of the strings and tuned it like a ukulele: G C E A. Pretty cool looking and sounding.
