Hello wise people.
I have a 1969 Yamaha FG-230 12string acoustic.
I got it for $100 at a pawnshop, about a year ago. Wow. That was last summer. Last month of school. Wow, time flies.
But anyways, The body. . . .is warped
Its not the neck, its the body. The part of the body where the bridge rests is risen up. I could get some pictures if they are absolutely necessary, but there isn't much to see besides a warped body.
How can I fix this?
Somebody told me I should get a damp rag, put the rag in the body, let the moisture absorb into the wood, and put a brick wrapped in another rag to flatten out the body.
Would this be a good Idea?
It only cost me $100, Its got scratches and dings all over it, I dont really care about appearance, Just playability.
Thank you SO MUCH!.
