Pretty sure that's a Norman Blake quote. I think somebody here has it in their sig.

My D28 Marquis has a bit of bellying going on. It's not visable, but taking a thin, soft cloth and feeling the whole area below the bridge, I can feel some bellying. It seems pretty even though, almost like it was built that way (I hope). It feels very symmetrical, about 1-1.5" from the edge of the guitar, all the way around the lower bout, it starts a gentle rise to the bridge. Scared the crap out of me the first time I felt it.

Anybody else out there with a pregnant Marquis? Should I start crying now?
