Hey guys. This is my first post and being a member of the Talkbass community, I figured I'd check here and see the input I can get.
I recently picked up a Martin OMJM (used), but after I got it home, I noticed a hairline crack in the bridge. Below are pics of the crack and the bridge plate. Is this severe and need immediate repair? How much should I expect to pay for a repair/replacement (if needed)?
I was informed by a friend that it may have cracked due to lack of being humidified properly. I thought the bridge crack was cause by someone pushing the pins in too far since the crack runs centerline along the holes in the bridge.
Your thoughts and advice are much appreciated. I love this guitar and it's my first "real" acoustic guitar and I don't want to have to return it.
