Gold Series S200C top bellying behind the bridge

[sambdman]

I have a Gold Series S200C that the top appears to be bellying behind the bridge. Are the tops suppose to be perfectly flat or are they made with a slight radius? The serial number is 22 2xx.

Hi Sam,

All soundboards have a curved surface with more of a belly behind the bridge, that's normal.

If a guitar takes on some moisture the curve can increase slightly and reduce when humidity levels drop.
