Anyone else have a problem with the neck of your uke shrinking slightly in the winter months allowing the fret wires to stick out a bit then in the summer they go back to normal? I'm having this problem with a couple of ukes and a luthier said to have the frets dressed (shortened) during the winter just once and the problem should not happen again. The theory being that the shortened fret wire will not stick out in the winter any more and in the summer they will recess slightly but not affect performance.
