Mayes Ukes

Check out the inventive (and patent pending!) compensated saddle on John Mayes's ukuleles.

"The C, E, and A strings resting on a fully angled/compensated saddle the intonation will be spot on, but here is the best aspect. The G string will rest on either a forward or rear positioned, user moveable, small saddle to allow for correctly intonated high and low g tunings on one instrument. And since I’ve filed for a provisional patent you can only find this saddle design on Mayes Ukuleles. Now you can switch between high and low G tunings without sacrificing intonation."

You have to look closely at the Features page on John's site to see how this works, but what an elegant solution! Tune it or die! Link
