Sorry to hear she's bulging. Sometimes the guitar can live with it though and you can compensate by shaving the saddle down a bit and adjusting the truss rod.

Unfortunately, when the lift is severe the only thing that will correct the playing action is a neck reset. That's intensive labour and expensive. At that point you need to be realistic about how much money you should be investing, after all this ain't a vintage Martin! I hope that isn't necessary. Good luck with your restoration.

I believe this is a copy of the Martin D37 K. The K stood for Koa wood construction. The MT series for El Degas back in the 60/70 (mostly MIJ) when I dealt with B&J tended to go up in price as the numbers went higher. So the MT1 was the low end and MT19 was the highest.

Hey Freddie, nice to see you on the board again. Hope all is well with you.
