Epiphone 12 String Bridge Removal and Re Glue

[@joebnj1013]

I’m bit late to the party but just about to remove bridge on a 12string epiphone and fix belly with diy bridge doctor. Just wondering if you or anyone here have thoughts on making and fitting a tailpiece ? as alternative to bridge with pins. Objective is to get n setup guitar with best action possible and thinking a tailpiece would result with less chance of bellup on soundboard. Any thoughts r advice before put iron on bridge?anybody
