I was reading the Martin OX neck heavy thread when I realized, I don't know what the standard is for "neck heavy" in ukuleles. What makes a uke neck heavy, what makes one balanced? I haven't picked up a uke without the neck taking a nose dive, but I never played any of the K brands. All the Martins I play need to have the neck supported while playing them. None of the ukes I have played have been a struggle to support. Is there some point on a uke body to hold it in balance? For instance, when I turn my tenor uke over and balance it on my stretched out, pointing index finger, it is perfectly balanced when my finger is directly below the 15th fret. Is this neck heavy, body heavy or balanced? Thanks
