Just finishing first uke. I seem to see dot spacing on guitars at 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, but ukes at 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15. Any advice would be appreciated. |

If you're building it for yourself do whatever you want. If it's for sale then it's 3,5,7,10,12 and 15. |

My standard is 5, 7, 10, 12 but will do others at no extra charge. onoukes.com |

By the way, does this difference in dot locations between ukes and guitars have anything to do with the different standard tuning? |

In the early decades of the lsat century, guitar dots could be either on the 9th or the 10th. Perhaps it got standardized at that time |
