After having a few ukes, one thing that stands out to me are the varying frets and necks.. In the past there was a very useful discussion around necks here: https://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?136716-Necks!!-Drop-your-2-cents-here
Starting this thread for frets.
1. Frets can be high or low
2. Frets can be wide or narrow
3. Frets can be rounded, flat and other shapes..
High vs Low: High frets seem to reduce the finger pressure I put down and as a result are less demanding on the hands but sliding your hands is not as pleasant.. Also, having higher frets allows to make slight intonation changes by changing pressure. Kiwaya has the lowest frets I have seen and on that uke, I still like it but it is more neutral
The highest frets i have are on my Tinguitar soprano and I have come to like them..
Wide vs narrow or shapes: No opinion here..
When ordering custom ukes, do you customize the frets?
What have your experiences been?
