I noticed on my old Epi ('64) there is some very slight separation of the wood on the top and back. A symptom, I believe, of dryness. Like a slight ridge running down the middle. I remember seeing on the Taylor site a similar problem. they had some wet device that they would put inside the guitar until it went back to normal.

I have "f" holes in mine. Anyone have any fixes?

thx

If the wood or binding has become separated from the glue drying out and letting go the chances of it going back to normal are slim.If a glue release has occured a reglue and clamping may be necessary.

I'm going to try using Dampit see how that works. That was the product Bob Taylor used to fix the acoustic he was working on.

thx for the responses.
