The bracing inside the guitar comes loose from under the top.
This is extremely possible....as I mentioned before, I‘ve not had any experience with the pinless bridges...like the one on that Carvin. If there is any other signs of top distortion, or bridge lifting, the problem should be addressed.
And it looks like @syscokid has posted a video that may answer some “construction” questions.
Go to the video I just posted and right about the 3:40 mark, the bridge is assembled. It looks pretty solid and screwed down into the body.
Indeed, and it’s a string-through body with ferrules....looks pretty frikken solid there. So the string tension is shifted downward a bit more than a traditional acoustic. Looks more like a chambered electric guitar than an acoustic.
Yes it does! Did you notice the filming of the video was restricted from showing the chambering?
Yes....I was a bit disappointed, but I understand that there are “trade secrets“ that they may not want spread across the planet.
It looks as though you’ve labeled them at least.OK, now I have to dig mine out and take inside pics. It’s in the left back corner...

Should be a piece of cake!
The bridge sits on two, roughly, 7-8mm pins(dowels) set into a block that’s left in the body blank after chambering...a pretty solid affair, with very little tension actually pulling the bridge anywhere but down or very slightly forward, thanks to the string through design.
I've never seen the inside up close like that.
