That depends a bit on how you define modern. Plastic was used in the 1950's, but the newer plastic instruments are pretty good quality. They developed from the original solid wood to laminates, which are less susceptible to cracking and warping. And with the invention of the electric quitar, the electric Ukulele was not far behind it. The latest trend is the U-bass, a tenor sized ukulele with thick strings to play bass notes.
