So one of my mandolins is tuned to a non-standard tuning (GCEA, like a low-G ukelele).
But the compensated bridge doesn't have the right compensation pattern. The E string in particular goes unpleasantly sharp when I play high on the neck.
I'm a crafty sorta fellow and not scared of doing some woodwork. What would be the best way to go about constructing/modifying a custom-compensated bridge? Is that a reasonable thing to do or is it gonna be super hard? Maybe just take an existing bridge and sand it down?
Or is there a bridge out there with some sort of adjustable compensation?
