Hi, thanks for letting me join the forum.
I have just received a 5 year old Epiphone MM-50E and the seller advised that there was a piece of wood rattling around inside it.
The wood turns out to be a strut. I think it was attached to the underside of the top surface. It is difficult to tell as the view through the f holes is limited.
The strut is too long to pull out through the holes. I'm guessing it is around 6" long
2 questions..
1 - The strut has been 'rattling around' for a few years, according to the previous owner, so do I need to get it repaired and glued back where it came from or can I leave it?
2 - if YES then is this possible without taking the mandolin to bits, ie: taking the back off
thanks for your help
