I recently acquired a an AJr which had been stripped, and without hardware. Structurally, it is in excellent shape, and is being restoed as I write this, but I have one question for the experts. The neck of this mandolin, when viewed from the front/top is off center! Probably about an 1/8th of an inch more on the treble side of the upper bout. It appears to be intact, and more than likely has been like this since its creation at Gibson. Was this common? And has anyone come across this?
