I'm not actually relaquering it - the new finish is going to be done with tru oil only. Still, my supposition had been that, as you say, it'll be difficult to sand it cleanly with the bridge still attached; I'm going to give it a try, and if that doesn't work out, I'll take a run at removing it. Thanks for the time frame.
