To regraduate or not...

[Matthew Tucker]

I don't see why I would have created a fault line? The bar is still set at a slight angle to the top grain. If I'd finished the regrad at a sharp line parallel to the top grain, maybe. But the stresses are still distributed exactly the same as they were before, because the bass bar is in the same spot. The top is just slightly thinner, and a little thicker immediately under the bar.
