Kendall knows whereof he speaks. I have one of those damn 70's D-19 Martin's and my bridge was misplaced by over a quarter inch. It was evidently made during a strike/work stoppage/lockout/whatever by management (keep shuffling those papers, but stay the heck away from the shop floor,ok?).

Mine was resurrected by a wonderful luthier named Bruce Petros who by the way, creates some really impressive fingerstyle guitars

Still, I haven't seen a Taylor (or anything else) that could touch my Brazilian D-41.
