I'm contemplating the purchase of a 10-year-old Kentucky KM 150 mandolin from an online private seller as a starter instrument for my daughter. The seller has indicated that he's placed a straight edge on the fretboard, and there is a slight bowing in the middle of the fretboard, on the order of 5-10 thousandths of an inch. I'm wondering if this could be enough to affect the playability of the instrument?
