I'm building a Stew-Mac tenor and will finish the body this weekend. Hopefully get it all completed (except finishing) in a few days.
Most of my lutherie experience is related to classical guitars and the string family. So I have few uke specific questions.
Stew-Mac recommends 3/32" compensation at the bridge/saddle. Sounds reasonable but I would like some opinions. Is it good for both low G and re-entrant tuning? I know compensation can change with string brand and tension and is a compromise at best.
String height at the 12th fret. What's considered good action?
Thanks, Larry
