Re: Cumberland bridge on Loar LM500 ?
My first good mandolin was the Loar A style, the top of the line A at the time (2016), I agree with the user above that thinks they're carved with thick tops and thick finish. If you have a pro luthier look at the stock bridge, fit the base nicely, make sure the saddle is tight on the screws, file the slots nicely, get intonation right, that's probably about as good as it gets.
(I'm a big fan of Cumberland bridges, I just sent a mandolin off to Hendersonville 45 minutes ago).
