I just received a new Godin Multiuke. I love the looks, sound, and playability of this instrument. I'm new to ukuleles, but not to guitars and basses, and have always done my own setups.
It seems that most references for uke action say 1/8" at the twelfth fret. My action is a bit under that on the high G, maybe at 3/32". The action on the A is at about 1/16" or 2/32". Yet there is no buzzing anywhere up or down the neck on any of the strings. And the intonation at the 12th fret for all strings is spot on.
So seeing as there is no buzzing, should I just leave it alone? The action in this model is adjustable only by the truss rod i.e. putting more relief in the neck. Am I losing anything (volume or playability) with such low action? Should I just consider myself lucky with this neck and take a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude?
What do you all think?
