Time for a Hot Mess Mod!
Frono, not quite I understand your comment. There is no question in my mind that Brother Canard can spotThat advice assumes that Carnard and their luthiers are not capable of recognizing that a guitar is a piece of junk. Just because something is a charity doesn't mean it is a trash can.

a gem from a clinker,
I hope the company eventually answers - you have been VERY patient about this.
I might have missed it in an earlier post, but Canard says it was built in '92. It's a 30-year old guitar. Who knows what could have happened to it since it was built to cause the problem?Hi
One guitar's replacement or fixing cost for them is peanuts compared to losing reputation.
Just make sure that they know that, too.
That’s called extortion.One guitar's replacement or fixing cost for them is peanuts compared to losing reputation.

Speaking of bridges, has anybody ever thought about adding a bit of extra mass inside the body, right under the bridge? Might act as a stray resonance sink?I can pretty much assure you that nothing has happened to the guitar in its entire life. I don't think it was even played before it came to me, at least not much. Total closet queen. It is odd in that it is a guitar for which the street price in 1992 would have been about $2400 US in today's money.
There is only one small mark on it where an improperly tied treble string slipped its not a the bridge and then whipped around to leave a tiny almost invisible mark on the surface of the top below the bridge. That's it.
Two of the luthiers asked where I got the guitar because they said it seemed to be new, no dust inside, no grime, no wear. Everything except for the one small mark on the top looks perfect.
The case looks absolutely new, too. Has the case candy, too.

If it were removable (putty?) then one could experiment with effect of different weights before deciding to make it more permanent.
Indicating a possible problem right from the start? Unplayed = unenjoyed, whether one caused the other the result is the same, but for me suspicious.it seemed to be new
Murphy's Law states that mint guitars will be black holes of tonesuck, and beat up guitars will sound magically delicious.
Well, since it's a classical, perhaps Baden Powell?A weekend of Hawkwind at "dangerous sound pressure levels" should do it ;]
