Default Calling Bourgeois owners/players…

I recently acquired my first Bourgeois guitar. It’s an OM style built in 2017.

Overall I absolutely love it!

When I acquired it however it had two minor issues (nothing a good luthier or tech couldn’t address). It has sharp fret ends and the bolts going from the neck block into the neck we’re quite loose. This tell me, and the luthier I talked to agreed, this was most likely due to not being properly humidified.

The frets were dress and bolts tightened up all around.

The saddle had to be sanded a bit for the action to come down to spec which tells me the neck shifted slightly.

Question: The bridge on Bourgeois guitars has a slightly curved top. The bridge on top isn’t flat. Where should a straight edge land on the bridge to signal right neck angle? Should it land on top of the rounded bridge top and thus hit the saddle?

Any idea/comment would be appreciated!

Thank you!
