Default Can this bridge be reglued or does it need to be replaced

At first I thought this could just be glued back on, but it seems somewhat warped. It has been like this for a long time AFAIK.

Yeah that one is gone. If you did manage to flatten it then it would want to go back that shape again.

In the photo are the strings tuned up? Is the bridge much flatter with no string tension on it? You might need to completely remove it to see what shape it adopts.

Once it is off, it can be heated to straighten it. I use a heat gun.
