Hey y'all, so I built this ukulele that I'm happy with except for one problem. The strings buzz at the nut due to the headstock not being angled steeply enough. I am considering installing a sort of retaining bar to compensate for the angle like you see in many electric guitars. I used to be a guitar tech at guitar center and I have done this on a ton of guitars but don't know if it is unheard of in the world of ukuleles. Would doing this be unheard of or bad form? I would prefer to do this over taking material off the headstock of the finished product and refinishing it. But I will do that as a last resort if y'all think a retaining bar on a uke would be strange. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
