Scott Seelye comes from Bend, Oregon and his main profession is selling Skateboards at his shop, however he says he has made some Wooden Ukuleles in his spare time, (I have seen a video of him making one), and in 2012 he came up with a design and a plan to start producing quality plastic Ukuleles again via a funding project on Kickstart. 

The prototypes for this were created using a 3D printer and were I believe the first ukuleles to be made this way. Despite the Kickstart project failing a company called Outdoor Ukuleles was started and began manufacturing in the US, with production starting in April 2013, (using more mundane manufacturing methods), with a choice of all plastic friction tuners, so the Ukulele is entirely plastic, so waterproof; or metal friction tuners. The first runs really were "any colour you like so long as its black," but in 2014 they introduced a different colour; well not quite colour as it is a see through Ukulele. They have gone on from this to add a number of other colours, though still slightly opaque, and to add Concert and Tenor scale models to the catalogue. They have also given up on the use of friction tuners including the plastic push fit ones that meant there was a 100% plastic model, and they all come with geared tuners now.

They have also started making plastic Banjoleles.
