If it really bothers you, you can get the laquer removed from bridge and have the bridge done in French polish. French polish will not crack like that. Though I don't recommend doing this, the cracks, scratches, etc actually look cool and add character to your guitar. Plus removal and French polish would not be cheap, you'd have to send your instrument to a luthier, if you're near one you can drop off, it not you have to deal with shipping, etc... What year is your guitar? Maybe the pistolero went heavy on the finish on your guitar? Normally he applies very light finishes. Lester does not shoot laquer, he has a pistolero do it, just in case you did not know.

Thanks for your answer i will leave you like that as a reason .... the problem appeared 3 months after the purchase ? I think the varnish is not great on these guitars, it's personal but I find it too thick and prefer the French polish. The pistolero ???? Thanks you
