I have a couple re-entrant ukes that I'd like to switch to linear, and I have several different low G strings, though I don't know the exact gauge for some.
I'm not a builder and don't have the tools to do even a simple set up. But since I'm not able to take my ukes to any luthiers, I'm thinking about getting a nut slot file. Since I won't be building ukes or even doing set ups, I wanted to see if I can get away with getting a single file from StewMac.
My understanding is that most non-wound low G strings are similar in size/gauge, and that the nut slot should be a few thousandths of an inch larger than the string.
Is it possible to get a single nut slot file to create slots that will accommodate most low G strings? And if so, what size would that be?
