How much distance between the fretboard and the string at the 12th fret do you consider acceptable to say a uke has "good" action?
I just got a new uke and there's just enough space to place two quarters between the string and the fretboard (resting on the frets, of course) at the 12th fret - without actually touching the string (it's very close though). Based on other ukes I've bought, that seems a little high.
I was thinking of sanding off a very, very small amount from the bottom of the saddle to lower it. Any suggestions?
