Today is the big day when I glue on the new bridge.
The bridge is made of rosewood and it has natural oils that need to be neutralized before spreading the glue on it. So I used some fingernail polish remover which is basically acetate for that on the bottom of the bridge.
I then, using an artist's brush, spread the glue all over the area making sure that I had 100% coverage and did the same to the bottom of the bridge.
I then positioned the bridge to some pencil lines I made for this.
Next came the clamps.
I've put the guitar in her case to wait for the glue to cure. I'll wait for at least 24 hrs.
Then it will be time to string her up.
Next, I'll check the neck angle and string action to see if that needs attention.
If the bridge is angled down too much then I'll have to adjust that with a neck reset.
But that's another day.
It's getting closer with not a hole lot to finish to let her sing again.
