I've noticed that my Custom Legend shallow bowl has an area around the bridge where the wood is warped as if the bridge was attached too tight. Also between the bridge and soundhole but off-center there is a dentation forming in the top. What gives? Any Ideas?

Thanks

Suggest you call Kim Keller at the factory 800-552-4681 to discuss. Hopefully, you have the warranty by being the original owner. He should be able to help you. I haven't heard of that problem with the CL's before.

Funny, but I was just going to take picts of MY '02 CL 12 string because the same thing is happening to IT!! I was gonna email the picts to Kim and see if this warrants a trip to the factory. John <>{

one thing I had recently on my yr 2000 #6759 - back side of the bridge started to lift, just enough to see the wood underneath the bridge if you used a flashlight. probably wouldn't have caused a problem, yet since 12 string - sent it back.

as usual, Kim and crew did a great job.

Thanks, I'll call Kim next week and ask. If that doesn't work I'll trade it in for something else. I can't stand imperfections in an instrument of this price.
