Actually I wasn't suggesting sending the guitar back for warranty work. I just thought that Taylor might find it interesting that the wings of the bridge warped and that they might be willing to provide a new bridge regardless of warranty, especially considering the location of the guitar. Is it common for bridge wings to warp? I've never seen that before. I would think a lot worse would happen to a guitar left in a hot car, before the bridge wings would warp. I'm just wondering if it is due to some defective character of that piece of wood.

It might be... because if the warping was caused by an external force like heat, then it should return to normal once you boil the bridge in water for a few minutes.

Bridge wing seem more affected by conditions though because its so thin

I find that using a heated knife slipped gently under a bridge to gradually peel it off works really well. The glue melts pretty quick and I spritz water in there to prevent burning and keep it moist.

This picture looks a bit rough but since I was replacing the top I didn't worry too much about being neat here.
