First thanks,and as far as scale lengths go I was fortunate to have a friend with a big collection of hand made UKE's, he let me lay out a really nice piece of maple to mark off the fret spaceing as well as scale as far as I know the humonic is at the 9 fret for my guy and at the 11 on a regular set the bridge the same way as a regular guitar so measure from the nut to the 9 fret and then from the 9 fret to the saddle of your UKE,as for pitch I found that it's all in the string grooves rebember when cut ing the grooves go from nut to saddle get it low enough that there is no buss on any lower frets .A friend told me once that a tone and ballance is all in the ftet work.I hope I helped
Hi Byron...great uke and the deep box surely helps w/ sound projection. A question...is it tough to dial in the intonation w/ ukes ? In other words, is position/angle of bridge exactly scale length or are adjustments needed for clear pitch at all fret positions? Thanks for help.
