If you look at the Franklin Titebond literature it is recommended "for non-structural use", and a guitar bridge is definitely a structural use; quite a demanding one.
You get a good 10-15 minutes open time, significantly longer than Titebond Original, and it does appear to dry harder as evidenced when sanding. While Titebond may not have the crystalline hardness of hot hide glue I really don’t think that creep is an issue - or sound transfer for that matter.
