Martin, I don't know which glue joints your referring to but I would consider this a potentially serious problem, OH YES. First, it will probably affect the tone, it might be an east fix. But second, I would be suspect of all the other glue joints, who knows what was going on that day during construction. I wouldn't recommend it, sight unseen from where I sit.
