I’ve got a lovely solid top acoustic that I bought second hand in January. It’s in my room and for the last nine months I’ve been hearing a ticking sound at night. Finally figured out it was coming from my guitar. I think it might be the dreaded death watch beetle which is essentially woodworm. No holes that I can see and the ticking is an even beat rather than fast to slow like the samples I’ve heard of a death watch beatle.
Anyway, does anyone have an experience of dealing with it? I cannot find anything online at all…
