How about this high?



What do you think, maybe Jamerson could handle it?

Someone probably got a decent deal at $153.00. It was vintage dimestore but I don't recognize what it is. It has a Harmony look.

It probably is more fixable than it looks. I've got an old harmony that looked nearly that bowed and I was able to rescue it from the junk heap. They are selling regularly for several hundred dollars, depending on condition.

Probably time to "mess with the truss rod" a little.

Quarter turn per day though - for the next eight years.
