This is good to know... I'll talk w/ whoever I get to do the work about all this. Thinking Victor in Denver who I've heard great things about, or maybe Mike Bashkin in Fort Collins who has done outstanding work for me before.

I recommend going with someone you’ve used before so you’re on the same page. Mine held some surprises with different glues being used so some repairs were easier while others were not and we had several decisions to make throughout. Best of luck. Regardless of what you decide to have done be sure to keep playing it.
