A worn, cracked or damage bridge plate destroys the tone of an acoustic and causes loss of volume. Over time the ball ends dig into the bridge plate leaving cracks and chips. This causes the ball ends to not sit properly on the plate and not transfer the vibrations to the sound board. If not taken car of this can cause damage to the soundboard. There is a solution that doesn't require removing the bridge pad but includes removing the old wood and plugging with new wood, or filling and re drilling the bridge pin holes
