Just bought myself a used Mandobird on eBay for cheap for the sole purpose of trying to turn it into a solid-body uke.
I've seen a couple of videos on YouTube of people who have done this. One video in particular outlines what he did in order to make the conversion. He states in it that a lot of patience and tweaking of the individual bridge screws was needed to get the intonation on.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to help cut down the tweaking time as I've never done it before. For instance, if I'm finding the notes sharp at the 12th fret, should I be loosening bridge or tightening? Do the individual allen wrench screws on each bridge do anything other than adjust the action?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
