Yeah, that would make sense. It sounds like it's backbow introduced by pressure from the tangs. If it pulls out OK then you win and no harm's been done and if it doesn't then at least you'll have more data on how to proceed. Addressing it now would kind of be like flying blind, to a degree.

P.S. If you need any hints on figuring out bridge height just shout. I'm kind of wondering if I'm pushing out more suggestions than wanted, so I'll lighten up on it. I'm worried I might be taking the fun/satisfaction of discovery away, which wasn't my intention.

Without your advice I wouldnt have come so far, so please continue following my thread, and don't hesitate to give your opinion as generously as before. Thank you, very helpful.
Don't worry, if I decide differntly than advised, its because I am a brickhead. In the scratch issue I agree with you, only here I have a cheap guitar with a 4mm soundboard which allows to try out some french polishing.
