649 – Cracking bridge. Known problem?

Hi guys,

I’ve been looking at used 649s online (not really vintage, just used, often current models) and about 90% of them have cracks in the bridge area – those little vertical grooves seem to be very prone to cracking :(

Some people still advertise them as “very good condition”.

Is this a known problem? Or is it always mechanical damage like dropping, sitting on it etc.?

Can’t believe all those are fakes.
