As I was typing in my comments above I got to thinking that as smart as Google is, surely there is information about the mathematics of sanding down the saddle based on the 12th fret measurement and sure enough our buddy Barry Maz has a great write-up and video...

Great video, I just wish he would have have thrown out some wisdom about sanding down the saddle "a little". He's done so many, it's probably 2nd nature but when I go through the process it takes me several cycles of checking the action at the 12th/loosening the strings/removing the...

I love seeing these high end vintage ukes! Good luck!
