a thought
This being a shiny new instrument, chewing is not allowed.

That’s an exceptionally chewed up bridgeplate for a brand new guitar. Like others who’ve commented in this thread, normally I advise people to hang onto instruments when there’s a minor problem. But this goes beyond minor, it’s the sort of major bridgeplate damage you would wince at even in a guitar that’s been played a decade or two.
Something went wrong at the factory, whether it was the choice of an inappropriate wood for the bridgeplate or something else. Wade Hampton Miller |

Looks to me like the plate damage is BESIDE the holes, not in front of the holes (where the ball ends would be). Out of curiousity, I'd look at the centerline of the top and see if it matches the centerline of the bridge. Looks to me like the bridge got moved after the top was drilled, or a mis-drilled bridge was installed and then replaced.

But anyway, send that back and get a perfect one.

The replacement is much better.

that still looks kind of weird.
I have an old Seagull S6 that's probably 20 years old. I just looked at the bridge plate and all I see are 6 holes. No extra holes, chunks, splinters, or anything else. I've never really looked at any bridge plates before but on a new guitar I'd expect just 6 clean holes. Last edited by rollypolly; 04-18-2024 at 03:05 PM. |

Looks fine to me. Compared to the first one.

Yeah, on the fence here. If I saw that on one of my guitars of several years (and string changes) probably wouldnt think twice about it, other than note to self to seat strings better! But on a NEW guitar? How did it even get that way? Is it really new?? New tech learning on it? Thats a little concerning and unexplained. Having said that, if I really liked it otherwise, would probably keep it at put overplate as mentioned above.
