Re: If you are looking for a Gibson F-style!!
When you zoom in on the second photo #6 you can still see the discrepancy at the same location as the #5 photo. The other area up higher is just a reflection. The scratch on the side looks like it could have come from a tone guard uhoh. The truss rod cover long screw makes no sense as an explanation for the damaged area considering the truss rod would block this from happening. As much as it looks like a outward protrusion (aka screw tip) it could easily be a inward dent ding from some other modification/use the owner thought was cool like the snake rattlers and the good mods(tuners and buttons). Maybe a night of excessive exuberance that made something hanging from there like a feather or coon tail a good idea. NFI but it looks like it could be a nice mandolin that the owner is trying to recover all or most of his original investment on.
