My Dog Has Fleas... This is the mnemonic for 4-string tuning, common to ukuleles..

Seeing all those 4-stringers, that was the first thing that came to mind..
I would guess, depending on the tuning, one could use common uke chords as well as the "petite" bridge and chords for guitar.. ( bridging only the 1st 4 strings. )

Likewise, tuning for slide guitar would probably be common, due to lack of actual frets..

I actually attached a short neck and block to a wine box, which is a bit larger than a cigar box, and has some included wooden supports already included.
It worked just "OK".. and had to be tuned down as it could not handle a great deal of tension..
