<p>Well, to see what I was aiming for, I bought a second hand Uke off eBay - a Mahalo Tenor. The fret wire is tiny and it doesn't play too well higher up the fingerboard either. Maybe mine's not so bad. And maybe the problem is my playing and not the instruments :-)</p>

<p>Thanks, JL. I had a depth gauge on the saw that should have cut the slots to exctly the right depth. However, I did quite a bit of sanding afterwards so they may be too shallow. I guess cutting a bit too deep is less of a problem than a bit too shallow.</p>

<p>For me, if I find a fret that sticks up too much, its because I wasn't watching closely and cut the fret slot too shallow and it won't seat all the way down to the shoulders.</p>
