No doubt Chuck Sanzone's observations are spot-on; but yours might be an unusual case. Most Os I work on have the bridge glued to the body right on top of the poly-finish. There's usually some abrasive treatment to provide the adhesives with holding strength, but gaps reaching down to bare wood are IMHO unusual.
Hello,
The only thing that makes me wonder about the glue between the bridge and the finish scenario for my guitar is when the bridge totally detached itself it did not pull up any finish with it.
With a failure like that I would think some of the finish would have lifted if the bridge perimeter was glued to the finish itself. Just wondering about that not an argument in any case.
How ever I am not a luthier or repair person I just try and reason it out
The bridge was totally detached when I opened the case and discovered it.
I am more then happy to have my O back. With all pieces attached
