Topic: bridge seems worn
looks like the holes in the bridge all wearing, like the strings are cutting into it. should i be concerned? what is going on here?
Re: bridge seems worn
I have a Yamaha F series acoustic that has the same problem. It's literally been years. I keep saying "I've got to get this to the shop" but never quite get there. I use medium strings and always have. In short, yes it should probably be looked at by a luthier but just wanted to let you know I don't think it's that uncommon and may not be as urgent. Others may disagree
I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

Hi Joy ,
All of my vintage flat tops are like that and have been for years and years . I would'nt worry about it unless it's bothering the bridge saddle itself , ( the plastic or bone piece that the strings actually sit on ) .
Yes , I agree with Geo , don't worry about it .

Re: bridge seems worn
Mine is like that too. It hasn't seemed to affect the playability of the guitar, which is what I care about. Well, that and the sound, which also seems unaffected. Play it till it's broke, then fix it. It ain't broke yet.
