This is guitar needed the split saddle to be re-crowned, as she had the 'sitar' twang.

Guitar Repair #580 - Setup - Chinese (unlabelled) - Acoustic

 This Chinese guitar, with no soundhole came through the shop with a bridge reglue job...
...it's lifted more at the left wing than in the middle.
Though I could remove and reglue the guitar properly with my vacuum clamp, but I could not figure a way to re-install the undersaddle pickup!
If you know a solution to re-install the undersaddle pickup, particular to this guitar, please suggest or link it in the comments. Much appreciated.
 We settle for a setup, that brought the guitar to a comfortable enough action
Not the best, but most I can do to save her.
