bulging bridges...
I know this is an older thread, but I have to comment. A well made flat top guitar should never have the top deform, bridge tilt forward or any such thing if it is well made, properly braced and it is not abused with strings that greatly exceed it's capability to retain.
With that said, if it bulges, fixing it would not be worth it if it's a cheap guitar, IMO. If it's a fancy or valuable guitar, I'd be tempted to take it to a luthier. I have no idea what they do, but I assume it involves steaming and using long jaw wood clamps on top of shaped flats, enlarged, new bridge plate, or god knows what all to fix it...
