Very interesting. In 100 years or so I may have 1/10 of your skills. Maybe.

In the meantime: I tried a bridge removal and it did not work out too well. It was a pinless bridge - there is a bridge plate btw - and I was not satisfied with the fit. anywayu, it pulled up quite a bit of material. I would like to repair the damage as much as possible and install a regular belly bridge.

I wonder if there is too much damage, though? Can you give me an idea of how much damage is too much? The top area around the bridge is fine - it is the fibers and a chunk of the top under the bridge that is the problem.

It is always repairable maybe
