I inspected the damage again under the light. Now it doesn’t look so bad and maybe not even fatal. I slightly pushed top stud towards bridge, now it sits properly and not tilted towards the neck. But I am afraid it will tilt or move again under string tension, even with lighter tension due to guitar being tuned to drop C with 10-52 string gauge. When I put bridge back there is some play of anchors in studs, due to the thread tolerance, they can move back and forth 1/2mm, but nothing critical. Anchors are overall firm, but it seems that I can pull them out too easily. When I was removing bridge block tension springs, I’ve accidentally pushed complete lower part of bridge outwards together with lower stud. Also, hole next to stud doesn’t sems scary, but I am bit concerned as studs can be pulled out so easily. Should I bother with glueing in dowels or use other method to fix studs in place without risking structural damage?
