Does the fret board look like it's taking a dive?

It's an hour and a half drive. Kinda scooched up here on my duff in bed with my cat acting like a blanket....but I love these

Pic #1 looks like some bellying going on.... Hard to tell about the fretboard....

So far I only see neck reset.

Can you take a pic from a lower bout edge on the same plane, shot to include up the neck/fretboard?

 

[beecee]

I need ta ask him again. So like this



Or like this?

No, the strings are too straight.

You need some measurements. Pics can be misleading one way or the other. Neck relief, 12th fret action, saddle height, height of strings off the top, etc.

 

[beecee]

Yeah but Im dealing with a person who is not all that knowledgeable.

Probably make the drive.

Oops new pix

 

[beecee]

Looks like the one @GAD bought

Dave2 is right about useful analysis of the geometry, but I'm still seeing the need for a good ol' fashion neck reset. You can figure 4-600 bucks and negotiate off that, but then you may have a long wait to find and employ the right luthier.

If the belly is protruding excessively, you'll want to have your inspection mirror on hand to see if braces are coming unglued.

We'll just spoke with Seller and he let on that he replaced the jack to try and minimize hum in pick up....which didn't work

Think I'll just stay home and eat some homemade bread

Well, nothing is conclusive here. That saddle is super tall, but I also see the fretboard take a dive towards the soundhole. I'm wondering if the truss rod is over tightened? However much you want to lower the action at the 12th you have to take double that off the bottom of the saddle. Not sure on this. It sure is pretty. I love these, too!!

I think that's probably a wise choice. I could never get past that non-round sound hole anyway....

 

[davismanLV]

I love the oval soundholes!! Why I bought my Washburn EA-20!!

I'd add a few more things and make it a full antipasto affair.

Fits my playing style perfectly....the odd shape that is.

Well this is my last week of glutenous behavior. I always go on a diet after the Super bowl.

I'll abide by your directive!
