I just got my dreadnought back from the shop -- some binding was coming up and I had fret buzz - they fixed both. They noticed that the bridge was starting to pull up -- took a piece of paper and slipped it under the back of the bridge, pulling it across to show the separation -- uneven, but as deep as a 1/2 inch in one place, I think. The top is still flat. Apparently the situation is not "emergent", so to speak, but it's about time to get the bridge glued back on all the way.
It had been in the shop for some time, and I wanted to get it home for a while, so I decided to reschedule. I asked the repair guy all the questions I could think of, but forgot to ask the most important one:
how much will this bridge separation affect the tone? The guitar is a 1972 Martin D-28, and sounds great to me, but I want to use it for some recording, and it occurs to me that if I can expect an improvement in tone after they re-attach the bridge, I should probably take it back sooner rather than later.
