Re: 1924 Gibson A-jr
If the finish had been put on with the bridge in place, it would have been strung up to hold it in place, so I don't think that's what happened. I'm also unsure if a varnish finish was sprayed on in 1924.
Usually what happenes is varnish sticks to the bottom of the bridge, where it makes contact with the top, and some of it gets pulled off over the years. My 1919 Gibson has almost no finish under the bridge, but you can see where a very small amount is on the bottom of the bridge.
