I have used Bridge Doctors on a few instruments to make playable for people who didn't want to have new tops put on. I also did neck resets on those guitars. When I installed the bridge doctor I did it with only enough tension to keep the dowel in place so under pressure it would pretty much prevent the bridge from distorting the top. The neck reset was to keep the action playable. Every guitar I fixed for people that way made them happy to have the guitar playable again. As far as sound goes I couldn't tell you if it made their guitars sound as good when they first purchased them or not.
