    Do you all think this splinter on the bridge of this TL-6SM would be cause for concern structurally?

    I'm not really concerned about the cosmetics but am curious if this could lead to the low e string causing more damage to the bridge over time and eventually runining it?

    I would be a bit concerned about it.  How large of a string are you running for your low E?  It looks like it splintered from that.

    I'd take the guitar to a competent tech and have them glue the bridge chip, then redrill the hole for the string.

      Thanks, thats what I was thinking too. Im not sure about the string size as i just received this brand new and it was like this out of the box. Probably 11's or 12's. I have a request for and rma authroization so i'm planning to send it back for repair or replacement.

        That's probably best.  Good luck!
