I have two 12 fret concert ukes. Both of them are fantastic ukes; one is a Kawika and one is a Collings.
I have the same problem on both of them which is that I have to be very precise in my playing or I tend to pull the A String or push the G String off the edge of the ukes. I'm wonder if this has something to do with string tension. These are the only ukes where I have this problem. For some reason this has become significantly less of a problem on the Collings since I put some Living Water string on it. The previous strings I think were Aquila.
Is it just that these two ukes have the strings too close to the edge? I can't measure anything that is different from other fretboards and that's hard to believe because both are known for their precision and perfection. And it's only these two. So I'm starting to think that string tension is the issue with the shorter neck leaving the strings a little looser. Maybe the cure on the Kawika is some higher tension strings. Anyone else have this problem on any ukes?
