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

Do you humidify your guitar?

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

The wood top is not separating from the bowl, the line separation is on the bowl.

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.
