CGU string height

Posted by Thom Chadwick on January 28, 2014 at 5:58pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Hi All

So I finished the Fairy Dust Cigar Box Uke and strung it up. I think the strings are set a little high but I'm not sure.

The bridge is bone and I was wondering. Should I file the slots down so the strings are closer to the fret board or lower the whole nut. What distance should the strings be from the fret board?
