I purchased a Mainland mahogany concert ukulele from Laurence White Luthery. When I had opened the box, I thought the front of the bridge had been broken and allowed the saddle to fall forward. According to Laurence White, this is a modification he makes on many ukes to correct otherwise poor intonation.
Check out the photos - has anyone seen this before or have experience with this modification? I must admit that the uke sounds great and intonation is spot on. I'll also add that his setup work is exceptional - easy player at the first fret and comfortable up the neck. I initially was put off by the saddle appearance and was going to return it, but it plays & sounds so good I can't let it go.
