That is too silly Pete. The guitar would shrink unevenly and you would be left with a funny-shaped instrument (maybe an Ovatiion ;})

Seriously, I have heard that the BP Uke is a lot more satisfying to play as a uke than the guitar is to play as a guitar. I don't know much about playing the uke; but I think there would be no problem holding it like there is for the guitar.
