Charles - thanks so much for the details in helping me to understand what I'm dealing with. I actually had to re-read your post for it all to sink in, and now I pretty well understand the various factors involved in acoustic guitar movement and the effect in the geometry of the guitar.
Right now, with my windows open all day/night in coastal Florida I know the humidity level is high in the house. Though I currently do not have a reliable hygrometer I intend to get several, verify the humidity of the guitar's environment, and go from there. I would at least like to try and get the guitar's moisture level down before I begin repairing the bridge.
Again, thanks for the help. I truly appreciate your sharing your knowledge and experience with me.
