Re: De Meglio Bowlback Strings Question
I wouldn't worry all that much: the strings you describe aren't all that heavy and, in any case, warping (usually) takes years; a single trip across The Pond shouldn't cause any trouble. Also, a brand-new fingerboard adds at least some resilience to the overall structure of the instrument.
Besides, Dogal Calace "dolce" strings aren't all that much lighter than the ones you have on right now-- I forget the exact gauges, but their G's are pretty hefty, from what I recall. Finally, as Martin writes, de Meglios (one of which I, too, once owned) are sturdy little creatures.
In short, not to worry. Enjoy your new/refurbished baby!
Cheers,
Victor
