Well, the heel cap has never been heated. The guitar has never left my house, but has been kept in 45-55% humidity all its life. But we’re beating a dead horse here. I think these on-going threads on martin binding are usefel in establishing if its still happening on later models, not rehashing from the early 2000s. Or, pray tell, a martin rep actually weighs in…
