Q: I just noticed that the bridge on my acoustic is lifting up in the back and I can stick a business card underneath it. Is this serious?

Answer

A: Well, not yet, but it is important to have this issue dealt with quickly. If left alone, the bridge will continue to rotate and lift off of the top. Your action will get higher, and the top will distort making a decent repair nearly impossible. As a general rule of thumb, repairs should always be made as quickly as possible to avoid more costly, intensive, and widely less successful procedures.
