I am new to Ukulele, and am used to playing guitar.
Like an idiot, I put the uke strings on in order of thickness.
I put the thickest on first, and then the next thinner, and so on.
Well, as you all know, that isn't remotely correct, and now I need to fix things and am lost.
I have Aquila Nylgut strings, and if anyone could use a micrometer or dial caliper and tell me what the thicknesses of each string is from G, C, E, and A, I would be forever in your debt.

The fattest string would be the C string, the next fattest the E string.

With the remaining two, you may have to hold them up to the light and carefully compare them, but the A string should be slightly skinnier than the G string.
 
Thanks, I think I have things fixed up now.
I can't beleive that I got those all crossed up!
Now to adjust the nut height, and I will be close.
Thanks again.
