This is exactly the method a guitar shop used on my 12 string acoustic guitar. I was lucky as I noticed the bridge coming loose when it first began separating and quickly got it to a repair shop. The shop even painted the bolt heads almost the same color as the bridge so the bolts are not noticeable at a glance. The guitar was purchased in 1972 and the repair was made in 1975.
