I give Luis the freedom to do whatever he wants on custom for us and this is one on the way, thought it was kind of interesting. We used to carry Babicz guitars that had a similar system but this is the first I've seen on uke.
I built several guitars with adjustable necks. I can see the benefit to them as the tension is so much greater and it's pretty much a given that body geometry is going to change over time and require a neck reset. However for a ukulele, that's going to significantly add to the complexity of the build with not much benefit in my opinion.
And what happens when the owner starts mucking around so much that they stuff things up?
I had the pleasure of recording this for Luis, I also played the instrument. The idea is to be able to set the action height to what you personally prefer, most would set it and leave it there. You could adjust the height higher for low tension strings or lower for high tension strings. If you wanted to play slide you could set it higher, as usually is the case. So you can tweek it or just find your sweet spot and leave it.
