    I'd go that way only as a very last resort. Wood fillers can be OK for filling in cosmetic holes but this is a high stress situation where the entire sum of all vibrational information is passing from the strings to the body. Think about it.
    Ideally, these posts are a TIGHT fit, hard metal perfectly threaded into hard wood. I wouldn't recommend any compromise in this area, especially using a medium that wouldn't actually fix the structural problem.
    That's just my opinion though. I'd never do that on a repair myself.

    Was it from a shop in London? I think they wrote a song about the bridge falling down.

    Guilty here of wakening an old thread.

    I looked at my AR371CE and found I had loose bridge pins and tightened them up. They were loose in the base. I rotated them so that lean was towards the inside / outside of the guitar in lieu of towards the headstock. Wish they marked the bottom of the bridge so that you could identify the treble and bass sides. I might have them flipped. Not sure.
