"thing" inside my Martin 000-16GT (2009ish)
I dropped an allen wrench inside my 000-16 this morning and while looking up inside of it upside down, I saw something that I don't know what it is. I was hoping one of you could help identify it. This is upside down, looking towards what would be the top bout (towards the low E). This guitar has never been electrified or anything. It feels like metal and it moves a little bit.

You might need to get a better picture.

If you have a small mirror to put behind it, that might show us what that actually is.

It seems to be a thin metal clip like thing, like an old school split page hole fastener type of metal, attached with some foam. I’ll try to get a better picture

Hmmm….. I’m the second owner, so maybe they did. There aren’t any holes cut for a preamp or a jack, though.

That’s likely what it is, then. I’ll stop fretting about it. I was worried it was a pice of bracing or something, then I stuck my hand up further and felt the foam. Thanks, all!

Maybe it's another Allen wrench?
