I have a Kala KA-KCGE-C. Its a great little uke that i got at a bargain because it was used. And as such i dont know the history of what has been done to it. For starters when i look at pictures online every picture shows a white saddle. And i noticed right out of the box mine has a black saddle. My initial thought was that they had painted it black (which seems like a terrible thing to do if you ask me but idk) but it almost looks like its made of wood as when you look close it has a grain to it, which would mean that it has been replaced because they come with nubone nut and saddle stock. (Btw nut and saddle don't match, just to give you another clue as to its been changed or painted) if it was painted should i change it? If it was changed should i change it? I was thinking of getting a bone saddle online. And if so should i change both nut and saddle? I'm doing this myself, so if its to difficult i would probably steer away from it.
Next question, i notice my strings slip out of tune pretty quickly after playing, not a ton but just enough to notice and go back and re-tune. Would putting new strings affect this or is it more of an issue with tuners? (They are grover tuners so i believe they're supposed to be pretty nice and work very well?)
Anyways please give me any advice you may have! Including what strings or nut and saddle you would recommend for this uke. It is a laminate by the way. Thanks!
