Well, after 5 days old humidifying with the sound hole and bridge pin holes sealed with tape, the top has come up some, particularly behind the bridge. I have had no tension on the top at all during this process (no strings are installed currently). Should I string it up and see how much more the top will pull?
The guitar will need a new saddle. The original one was lowered too much, and the bottom of the saddle is uneven to boot, but I can at least use that saddle to see if the guitar will play.
By the way, the top will probably never be as good as new, but if it played ok, maybe I could live with it.
