Depends on the type of bridge and how it's broken.

Go for it though. If it's knackered you can get a new bridge (cheap, easy installation). If not then I'm betting it'd be an easy fix.

That's why it's held by screws, if you can't fix it, replace it :D

He had a whammy bar on it and pushed it so far the bridge broke.

The one Lyon I've seen had a Gibson-style bridge, but some have Fender bridges... either way, the best way to fix it would be to replace it. You may be able to replace individual saddles, or you may have to replace the entire thing.

Well a bridge is a great piece of kit to get upgraded, if you go for a quality piece it'll improve your tone and tuning stability, and even the cheap ones are good quality nowadays! The bridge'll be one of the next hardware upgrades on my MIM :)

He might have had a custom bridge.
