          I agree with Jerry . I once serviced a Stwy M that had the top end 
of the bridge end binding against the plate giving the bi-chords a deader and 
a deader sound playing upwards towards note 26. I Inserted hacksaw blade 
between plate and bridge and set it free. No more thunk thunk I was surprised 
that it got past  past quality control and others for 20 years naaaaaaah it 
happens.
