Hey everyone,
New to the world of ukuleles (and stringed instruments!) since last month. I got a cheapish Oscar Schmidt ukulele and fell absolutely in love, to the point where I'm going to get a nicer long term ukulele right now, and the OS will make a nice present.
I'm taken with the Eastman EU3T solid mahogany tenor and it's been tough to get in Canada. I found one newly in stock at a large music store and asked for pictures of it before I order. It looks absolutely stunning but there is a problem with the nut. It is slanted and this is even more obvious because of the etched line in the neck where the nut 'should' be.
The store's repair shop assure me that it doesn't affect playability/isn't interfering with any of the functionality of the instrument and that it would be a cosmetic issue.
Should I believe them?? I want to but I'm worried! How can it not affect the open G cord intonation?
Thank you for your input
