Electric Oud

First of all Hello to all from the sunny side of Italy!!
I play oud mainly as medieval music player, I have several instruments but mainly I am a bass player...of course not for medieval music ah ah ah.
Some time ago I had the luck to acquire an electric oud from Najarian, a real wonderful instrument which i mainly used in a project of music therapy specially filtered with many effects...quite amazing!!
Now I ask you to post yours, of course also from different builders and luthiers.
Thanks to all!!

Hello Sylud and thanks for yoyr welcome!! I like your oud! I was simply astonished from the magnificence of the Najarian construction specially regarding the tuning pegs....it is really incredible how they can mantain the tuning !
I see that you use guitar pegs, am I right?

Yet , you can find pegs like that http://www.perfectionpegs.twofold.com.au/index.html for oud
