<p>Hello, and thanks in advance for your advice.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What approach would you take to fix a terribly deformed plywood top with a plywood bridge plate? The bridge lifted over the years, and a pronounced belly formed, leaving the top, under the bridge, quite sloped. It is not a nice gradual slope. If one were sledding on the guitar top, one would start at the back of the bridge footprint and slide to the front of the footprint.</p>

<p>The bridge lifted, and was successfully removed. The guitar is one from the 70's, the bridge has two bolts and an adjustable metal insert saddle. The X brace has come unglued on the treble side near the bridge, where the deformation is the greatest. The glue used has a white color.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am quite reluctant to try to remove the bridge plate, as I am afraid the plywood top would come away as well.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Has anyone had success fixing one such as this?</p>
