Hello mandolin world!
I just noticed tonight a strange indentation on the side of my mandolin. It seems to run parallel to the binding on the bass side of the rim (it's an a style, but the dented area is a similar location to where the scroll would be on an f style). I've never dropped anything onto it and it lives in a Calton when I'm not playing it; however, it sees a lot of playing throughout my workday. Perhaps it is a side effect of weather on a varnish finish. I wondered if anyone else has ever had this occur. It seems to be cosmetic as I can only clearly see it under the light and feel it with my fingers, but just wanted to check to see if it is a sign of a more serious issue.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
