So I am having a local luthier (local to me) make my next uke (my second, and next of many I'm sure...I'm already feeling UAS coming on). I am getting a pretty sweet custom concert and have been tossing around getting it set up in Low G. When I ordered it, I told him I would like it set up Low G and would like to possibly switch things out b/w low/high when I want...I have talked with him and he told me if I wanted to set it up with a Low G and wanted to switch back to a High G, I would have to switch out the nut or probably have some buzzing with the smaller diameter g-string. I am not too crazy about a buzzing string or the idea of having to knock out the nut and re-glue in a new nut just to change it back to a High G....my soprano is set up with the traditional High G, so I initially wanted to have my concert set-up Low G....I've never played one in LG, so I figured this would be a good opportunity for a new sound and some better sounding finger picking...
So what do you all think? Should go through with the Low G or order it in High G and then file it down a hair to put a Low G on? Now I am second guessing my decision to have it done in Low G. I recently ordered it, so I still have a few weeks to change if necessary.
Thanks for the input.
