I guess probably when the damage reaches to where the top meets the ribs ?
I'll definitely look at putting bumpers on all my basses !!

Doesn't look so bad to me. I would try gluing any grain edges that are open and lightly sand till smooth. Then touch up with some spirit varnish to seal it. Then, make some bumpers so it doesn't get any worse. If ever a Luther goes to make a new edge from the outside which might be a temp fix, he will have to flatten the area a little more than you did so not to worry about the little sanding you did. If the Top comes off, more work will be done to support it from underneath as a permanent fix.
