Default Possible bridge issue on a new Cordoba C5

My daughter bought a new Cordoba C5. It looks and sounds GREAT. I noticed that when the light hits it you can see 4 lines radiating out from the back of the bridge. I looks like they could be where the bracing is as the two outside lines are at the same angles and the two inner lines are at the same angles

But the surface feels completely smooth

Could this lead to some bridge problems in the future???

Thanks

Joel

Shouldn't be a problem. That's the braces "telegraphing" through the top. My Taylor looks the same. There was a write-up about that same issue in Wood and Steel, Taylor's magazine.

The tops are built so light that the braces sometimes show through.
