I love my concert surf fluke. I have been using Low G Worth strings ever since I bought it last year; I started on the Browns and gradually worked up to the Clear Mediums. I have been playing Ukulele full time for about a year now and am starting to play more upwards on the neck. I noticed some 4th string intonation issues at the 5th fret (5 cents off) but very pronounced at the 12th (20 cents off).
I went to my local guitar store and purchased a set of Aquila concert strings (AQC's). I wanted a low G, so the music guy sold me a D'addario D (.030") string.
Long story short, my fluke now plays with almost perfect intonation. Maybe 2 cents sharp, if that, at 12th fret. Barely noticeable to my ear.
As much as I love the buttery sound of the Worths, I am going to try to stay with a lighter gauge to maintain my intonation. The sound of the Aquila's are much stronger and brighter than the Worths, but I am liking it.
