This is one of the early ones I believe, equipped with the LR Baggs Element under saddle pup. It is even more sunken than I originally thought, in front of and behind the bridge. A straight edge laid across the top confirms it. I am humidifying the guitar now. I put a pair of travel soap dishes with holes drilled in the lids and household sponges inside and sealed the sound hole with tape. No noticeable change in 24 hours. I know this isn't giving it much time but I was hoping to see something...

The battery for the Baggs dated to 2010 and it had electric guitar strings on it! The guitar probably has not had proper care and feeding for years. I got it pretty cheap after pointing out the defects, sunken top, not really playable, etc. Any advice would be appreciated.

By the way, the spruce top is beautiful. I'd hate to re-top the guitar if it doesn't come back up, but with solid rosewood b & s, I don't want to junk the guitar.
