It is an American Conservatory brand bowl back, It is glued right up next to the pickguard, But its the same space from the nut to the 12th fret as the 12th fret to the saddle.

Well, the bridge cant be moved. Its glued in place, I measured everything correctly and it is in the right position. When i press down on the 12th fret its sharper than the harmonic. Even at the...

Thank you for the response! Its not the bridge i know, And it couldnt be moved easily anyway since the bridge is glued on to the soundboard. I measured it though and it is in the right position.

It's hard to move this bridge while replacing the strings, Because it's glued to the soundboard. Ive never seen one like this but i measured it and it is in the perfect spot. The neck is not bent,...

Recently i have bought a bowl back mandolin to play at historic fairs and such. the instrument as a whole was in great condition, needed cleaning - New strings - and minor tuning peg...

Thank you! I just wasn’t sure if this meant that the actual joint connecting was going to start coming apart. This helps a lot thank you!

Action is pretty low, from about 1/16 or 2/16 at the E strings, I can’t tell whether they’ve moved, if so not drastically .

It appears that the neck is slightly coming apart from the body, It doesnt seem loose but im worried about tightening the strings, Is this a major issue? is it a $100 paid luthier kind of problem...
