I think I may have misunderstood...Thought you were looking for captions for the picture.
Seriously, I'd like to hear what a luthier would do with this if someone brought it to him and said it was his grandfather's old guitar and wanted it fixed. Reset certainly, with a new bridge, but could a bunch of spruce be spliced in, or are we talking retop?
Maybe it's having difficulty with your accent?ps - why is this forum´s spell-checker interfering, when I type correctly ???
After scrolling through the owner's Instagram feed, which I linked on the OP, it looks like he met with a Guild rep at NAMM this year and has plans to restore it. I'd assume that means re-top, but I like Nuuska's idea of leaving it as is. Problem is that the hole is just going to get bigger with a heavy handed strummer so a resin fill could be interesting.
Maybe it's having difficulty with your accent?
Given the damage done to the bridge and under the strings (even being uniquely lowered as it is) I think heavy handed might be a mis-statement.... maybe more like hammer handed. Years ago my uncle tried making chef / kitchen knives out of old saw-blades. Maybe this guy tried making guitar picks that way.! BTW - the knives held a normal straight edge well enough to cut through bone easily (i.e., not the sawtooth profile).
