A stringed instrument that runs 20 to 28 inches long. It can be shaped into multiple shapes but is most commonly found in the figure 8 guitar shape. They are usually made of very thin wood, but plastics and metal can be used.

It looks very much like a small guitar with only four strings. The shape of the body, like that of the guitar, can vary. The most common type is the figure 8 sort of shape, some with a 'cut out' while the 'pineapple' is also popular.

The appearance can vary greatly, just as Guitars can.

I have a very traditional looking Ukulele with a pick-up in it. Unless someone sees the cable jack or the small adjustment knobs on the top side, you can't tell any difference. And is the cable jack is often incorporated into a strap knob, it is even less noticeable. These typically sound pretty good even without amplification.

There are electric ukuleles that have no 'body' and are more of a stick, just the strings and fret board with the pick-ups and bridge. I have a 'Les Paul' style electric/acoustic ukulele that looks more like an Electric Guitar then a traditional ukulele.

That depends on the type of instrument you are talking about. An electric ukulele used pickups and no sound hole is required. However, an acoustic ukulele is going to need to have holes to provide volume by allowing the sound to project out of the instrument.
