Hi Folks,
I am a relatively new owner of a new Martin S-1 which I absolutely love.
I am finding one problem though relating to the nut. The corner of this seems very sharp and I find myself catching the thumb side of my index finger on it when fretting and it is becoming quite painful. I notice on my other non Martin ukes that these edges have been slightly rounded and hence don't cause any problems.
Should I use a nail file or something on it to take the sharp edge off?
I love this Uke and don't want to damage it in attempting this.
The shop I bought it from is over a 100 miles away so taking it back isn't an option and I wonder if for such a minor thing I could sort it myself.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did they resolve it.
I doubt I'm the only one having this issue.
Regards
Dave
