Hello,

I notice today a thiny separation line between top, and bowl at the bottom, it´s a crack?

The guitar tunes well, any advice?

Thanks

Location: Utah		Is that just the binding lifting or is the wood itself separating from the bowl?

Location: Mexico City		The wood top is not separating from the bowl, the line separation is on the bowl.

Location: Mexico City		Tony and Jonmark, I feel relief if it´s only a reglue problem. I will take the guitar with my luthier to adjust the truss road, and check this issue then. Thanks folks. I´ts an Ovation Elite 20 years old. I also have an Adamas 1598 merb, and it´s in perfect condition. Maybe because it´s an Adamas, or a younger guitar. Thanks again for the help.
