Seagull Guitar Bulge

[Seth Carstens]

Hi there,

I bought a Seagull S6 guitar 2 weeks ago while travelling and when I got back I noticed it had a bulge by the bass strings on the guitar. It seems to play well and I have had some people that it is normal but also some that seem to say that it could be bad. Any answers would be appreciated.

It is a decent entry level guitar $ 400. Canadian dollars -
< $ 300. US >
Having it repaired or replaced might be more than its worth ?
If it bugs you - dump it - if not - play the crap out of it !
I like my 2 old Godin flat top dreads - S&P spruce/rosewood
and Norman cedar/mahogany.
If I remember correctly - Robt. Godin built his business
on the Seagull - his guitars were built in a small Quebec town.

A photograph would probably help - put it on DropBox or similar and
post a link. But taking it to a reputable local luthier, as Steve
Hawkins suggested, is probably the best approach.
