Doesn't work all the time, but im glad it did for you. My early 70's Yamaha 12 string had no luck after weeks being wetted and wet sponge on plastic and sound hole sealed, and 40lbs. I removed and replaced the bridge plate and used the thompsons belly reducer and ended up with a like new guitar. Tried the bridge dr, and hated it. will sell cheap. |

I have a 1973 Martin D35 I bought on eBay that the bridge had split, was pulling up at the back and the top had cracks on both sides because of the bridge. When removing the bridge, I realized the cracked bridge (a new addition by a previous owner) had been installed by removing much of the spruce under the original bridge.
The wood under the cracked bridge went from about 1/32" removed at the front side of the bridge to zero remaining spruce at the back of the bridge. The bridge plate was buckling under the cracked bridge. I've bought some sitka spruce, maple for a new bridge plate and a new bridge. I'm going to moisten the spruce under the bridge plate before installing the new plate and clamp a heated Thompson Belly Reducer to remove as much of the belly bow before gluing in the new bridge place and spruce to fill the void created by the hack who removed the original bridge. |
