I just purchased a Lanikai CKCGC Concert and I am now hearing a brushing noise on my down strum. The noise comes from my index finger brushing the body after getting past the A string. I did not have that issue with my Tenor as it has a cutout at the bottom of the fretboard.
I have a big belly and my Uke is at an angle towards me which could be the issue. Is there anything else I can try? I did notice that when I brush the body on my Tenor with my finger it makes a very faint brushing noise and when I do that on my Concert, the noise is about 20 times louder. Can I/Should I do something to the finish of the Concert to make it like the Tenor's finish ?
I suppose I could strum higher up on the fretboard to avoid the body with my follow through, but that doesn't feel right.
Thanks,
Jim
