Crooked Bridge

It's done on some guitars as a form of compensation... seems kinda extreme on an Uke-scaled instrument tho.
 
"seems kinda extreme on an Uke-scaled instrument tho."

--and inappropriate for one with reentrant tuning.

No its just wrong. A very slight angle the other way is useful if your going low G but its so slight you hardly see it.

What's pictured is an error and a big one too.
 
"Reentrant tuning? Some people still do that?"

Yep, and some of us old timers still play soprano ukes.:)

Right. I've seen tilted bridges on many guitars, but the are always tiled with the bottom string higher. The one pictured below has a tilted saddle.

It not an ovation. The ad says it is an unknown brand with ovation style sound holes. Unfortunately it is doesn't have the ovation roundback. Just didn't want people to think that ovation made this.

I... that's why I own two ukuleles (of course this doesn't explain those that own 10.) :nana:

Only two? What about soprano, concert, and tenor? And a banjolele, of course. And a pineapple. And a sopranino. And the Hawaiian Ks. And a cigar box. ;)
