"Try adding a fretboard! It will close the gap and stop the bowing. You don't have to put frets on it, But they aren't that hard to do."

Dean, with the pretty git that transmitts FM...   Glad to have you for a nation friend.  That White Owl box you commented on is not real wood.   Some kind of fiber stuff.  I have good luck making gits out of that type.   My fave boxes are old Lord Clintons, which are also pressed fiber.
