Fair play to you.
I hope you can correct what is wrong with the top. Please post some photos of the top issues if you can and your process of correcting it.
I've long touted American Conservatory mandolins as one the best value / $$ quality ratios on the used instrument market.
I hope yours proves to support that claim!
