Greetings all! I'm new to these forums.
I recently picked up a used Seagull Entourage Rustic CW QIT acoustic guitar. As you can see from the pics below (hope I linked them correctly), there's quite a bit of wear at the bottom of the sound hole.
Normally I'd just leave something like this alone, but what concerns me is circled. It's a little hard to see (at little easier from the side shot), but it appears that one spot is wearing down the "curve" into the guitar's top at the edge of the hole.
Anyway, I'm afraid that area will continue to wear until there's serious damage. Do you guys think this is something to be worried about? If so, any ideas for a DIY fix to maybe reinforce the rim of the hole, is it time for a trip to a Luthier, or am I just going to have to live with it and hope for the best?
I'd rather not install an oversized pick guard if at all possible, since it would partially cover the feather pattern around the hole, but I have a feeling that may be my only choice. I also have no idea how to get the existing pick guard off this guitar, as it appears to be glued on.
