So... a new project begins...
I got this for $39

The bridge is lifting...

This is actually what I was looking for.. because I want to remove the bridge... and put a bass bridge on it... and a tailpiece and string it with 4 courses of 3 strings instead of 6 of 2 :animal: with the bass strings pulling and the octaves pushing... more to come...

if you give it some time the top may settle back into a more normal profile.

Maybe... it's a plywood top.. they don't list it as such in any info or website but it is. You can SEE the bracing patterns like nothing... I don't think it will just fix it's self.. I'd being worried if it wasn't a $40 guitar... but it is..
