Well sure, the bridge is currently being reglued. But the thing is 100 years old, has had a lot of work done in the past, and there's a good bit of damage around the soundhole, so one has to be pretty delicate with it. A replica won't mind the occasional bit of thumping on the top or new scratches with a pick, and I'll be less worried about keeping it out/strung to tension.
