I have used a mirror to look inside and it has a carved bass bar integral with the top which at 7mm is what you might call 'robust'. The sound is pretty choked and there are a number of things that I would welcome opinions on.

1/. The neck stand is 21mm from the top to the underside of the fingerboard, and from the Top to the bridge between A and D, is 5 3/4 inches ( 142 mm ). So question is would a new raised fingerboard work wonders for the tone by introducing more tension to the top.
