FAQ
![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")
The reason I asked is, I've built a number of ukuleles all with a 25' longitudinal arch and bolt on neck. The necks always came in at or very near 90 degrees, no problem. On the last two i decided to try leaving the UTB flat to glue in, which ended up raising the action. To lower the action I leaned the neck back a bit, which gave me the hump. Looking back it occurred to me that another .030 of fingerboard would have been a better solution. From here on I'll be putting the radius back on the UTB and learn to install fret wire on a finished instrument.
