<p>I didn't think about that , no there were no steam holes , nor drill scars in the cavity . Greg is correct , I taped the binding to keep it in place , I don't know the age of it but it has the curve half way down the dovetail cavity so not too old . When I add shims they usually end up getting sanded down to almost nothing , cant imagine how a 42 could be so wrong .</p>

<p>I dunno, my own OCD insists I usually go back and plug the holes to match and erase all of that evidence, if possible :) Still, those huge shims, though...</p>

<p>Any evidence? Other steam holes would be obvious I think. Mike, I think that's tape around the FB to keep the binding in place.</p>

<p>Interesting premise on a prior reset, as those shims you've found in there look decidedly "unfactory". Also curious about the thin shim on the underside of the f'board, near the end of the trussrod. What year is the guitar?</p>

<p>If the binding loosens it will shrink further and the gaps will be more obvious. That's all.</p>

<p>Thanks Greg , I am not worried about that gap , I just hope I can give it back looking the same . I hadn't considered the alignment with the pearl so thanks for the warning . Ive done a lot of Martins but never a 42 .</p>
