Replacing a vintage Gibson acoustic rectangle bridge?
My LG-2 bridge was sanded down at one point and needs to be replaced. I can find plenty of options for Belly bridges but no options to buy a premade replacement for the 6 x 1" bridge.
Any advice on this?
The top is being refinished so I don't need to worry about the "shadow" of the original bridge so much. I'd like to stay close to original but in the end, its a refinished players guitar so great sound and reasonable budget play a role.
The guitar has already been de-valued - but its a great player
I know I can take it to a luthier and have all the work done, but I'm not afraid to tackle the project if I can find the parts.
Would a belly bridge work, or am I asking for unknown trouble if the bridgeplate underneath doesn't line up?
its a 1951 Lg-2 - thanks in advance for any insights
