I've wanted to learn how to play the ukulele longer than I can remember, certainly longer than I've wanted to learn how to play the violin. And that desire started in third grade after watching Young Sherlock Holmes.

Anyway, this Pac-Man ukulele rekindles all those old musical wishes and looks very stylish to boot. Not many ukes can thoroughly grab attention like this one can.

The downside is that these custom-made beauties are $600 a pop on Celetano Woodworks' Etsy shop. For the same price, you could have three simple, homely ukuleles....
