a thought
Well, some framing carpenter (re)installed that bridge...
If this was mine. I'd locate the bridge, remove it and clean up the bridge and the soundboard, and reattach the bridge after local finish repairs. I've done it and it's easy enough to do being careful (I needed to replace a pinless bridge that departed the scene) and the belly bridge I replaced it with was smaller; I found it was no big hassle to mask off around the bridge footprint and scrape/shellac/lacquer the bare spots and rub out the area, Can't tell where I refinished it. And I'm nobody's idea of a finish expert.
Enjoy the guitar!
