Old thread start maybe but never ending I am sure.
What looked like a minor treble side Top pressing has been re-evaluated into being a total Top re-shaping. The Top is off and the neck is out with the Scroll/pegbox detached. The Neck is toast and incorrect so it's firewood. The Scroll is to be fully repaired and then grafted into the Block-cut carcass when it gets to that point. Time is our friend here as some of the stress and depression has come back on its own just getting some rest without the string tension on it. The rest of the Top shaping will be a major job. The Back and Ribs need total restoration as well.
Ask me again this time next year if I haven't already posted on it.. lol
You are welcome to ask Arnold BUT this may also fall under 'Doctor-Patient Confidentiality'!
