Hate to say it, but there is something niggling me bout my Mainland concert.
I'm convinced that the bridge is slightly off, a bit too high on the G string side (ie a bit too close to the nut end)
There is very little in it, plus the grain of wood on my top is a bit wavy and I think an optical illusion is going on too.
Anyway, i measured it, and I also put a straight edge at base of bridge and it is def glued on askew.
Anyway - I may be being ignorant here, as before my mainland I played cheap ukes. I do however play some very nice acoustic guitars, and those saddles are on an angle for a reason.
My Flea uke however has a dead straight saddle - and on the mainland, I could kinda understand it if the saddle itself was cut on an angle, but it is the whole rosewood surround that looks off to me.
maybe it is my eyes, but I am also unhappy with intonation of the G string...
Should I get replaced, or are your Mainlands similar?
(I sound picky - but when I look at it, it just looks set wrong - see picture here - I have a straight edged piece of paper flush to the bottom end of the saddle mounting...
