Those are valid points, though I think I did say to find an experienced repair tech. The best option for the OP is to contact Martin to find the nearest Martin Authorized Warranty Repair station, but if there are none in his area then finding an experienced repair tech is the next best thing.

I'm not trying to be a doom-ridden Cassandra prophesying disaster if my recommendations aren't followed to the letter. And of course there's no harm in posting a photo. Where I see the danger is if there's a problem that can't be captured by a photo, and then the assumption is made that there's no problem at all.

There probably isn't, but why take that chance?
