I think that the Gibson "luthiers" use the bridgeplates for target practice during their lunch breaks. I initially thought it was part of their tooling procedure for locating the bridge or pin area, but how do you explain the fact that no two bridgeplates have the giant holes in the same location. The only reasonable explanation is that they're shooting them before installation.
