This is just a temporary method which will last for may be 3 months or so and come summer it will be back with the warp. In Pune the temperature varies by 20 degrees day to night. The pressure and pull on the strings is ATLEAST 50kg. Which you cannot hold in your hands for more than 15minutes but your guitar holds it till it cant any more and the bulge starts to increase. My son in Sydney had an expensive MATON guitar. Me being a luthier he asked me for advice which I am putting in the comments. The only 100% cure is to put a trapeze tail piece. I must have done this for atleast 300 guitars. the bulge goes down and the problem is totally solved not 20 or 50 or 70%. Back to the MATON he had used it for 3 years or more. MATON replaced the guitar for him. I am sure if this method would be even 90% successful they would have followed it. I have been making guitars since the age of 12 now I am 77 and still repairing and making.

What he is experiencing is the effect of removing string tension for days and allowing the bracing to return slightly to their original shape with the aid of moisture. Keep in mind perfectly flat top under tension is not realistic. All solid wood tops unless way over braced have some curvature while strung. Quality makers account for this when setting bridge-fretboard alignment. This guitar does seem to have excessive belly, unfortunately it will will return to the same shape within a week of being under tension. Praveen can you verify if this is true?

hello. that lifting occurred due to excess humidity of the guitar? that is to say that it is lowered by applying even more humidity? how it comes out by applying a wet cloth inside the guitar. I have that doubt, since I have the top of a guitar raised, but supposedly I must dehumidify with silica and not apply more humidity. I have that doubt. I hope your help.

If your guitar needs humidity the top will sink. If this was a humidity issue it would be a bulge and adding humidity would make is worse.

I have tried this technique on my guitar and it really helped to reduce the belly bulge on my guitar, thanks. Just a quick question, Once guitar is in normal form by this process, will it last or will the belly bulge form again ?

I store my guitar in a humid room. I did this and it didnt work. Maybe i should dehumidify it instead?

Generally, guitar body swell, if humidity is more than required and sink, if humidity is less.

You need to put the ruler back on to see if your guitar top is actually flat.
