<p>The Bridge has lifted from my 2006 G3 acoustic 6 string. It is not a pegged bridge but rather a string through style bridge.</p>
<p>When the bridge lifted, it removed some wood fiber from the spruce top...the grain in the top seems to be running out towards the rear which could be part of the reason it lifted in the beginning.</p>
<p>This guitar is from a highly regarded luthier, but since I am second owner so he is unwilling to do the repair on warranty.</p>

<p>A local repairman/luthier would not repair it saying he thinks it should have a pegged bridge and with the torn wood grain it could never be strong enough in his opinion.</p>
<p>So I am left wondering what to do and in particular...what, if anything, can be done to fill the lost wood fibre from the top?</p>
<p>Any comments from you luthiers and repair persons would be greatly appreciated.</p>
