Yep, you've got one all right. The treble end of the long bridge is typically at least 5mm shorter than it might more ideally be, so when I'm doing soundboard and bridges on one of these, increasing the treble bridge height brings the high treble string height up much more comfortably closer to the rest of the long bridge. There's still the hump in the middle, but it's not as ugly overall as it was leaving the factory. Ron N
