Even worst the Luthier I took it too was in the middle of a moved and didn’t allow it to completely humidify and seal doing a horrible and now noticeable job with the repair! it’s been like that since and I’m just over it. Ugh Anyway great name for your Guitar is ... drum roll ... PHOENIX! ... rising from the ashe…
