I am fairly sure that they are suppose to stay in the guitar forever once placed in ( the wood would
go back to the last position it was in ) thats all I have to say


Considering your post , I thought :

¿ OK so you have a Martin with the first noticeable signs of [ Belly Bulge ] and you do what ? -

• ¿ Complete top removal/replacement
? •


A JLD will cost you about $55.00 and maybe an hour of your time at most if you are able health
wise and can string a guitar yourself , that's all the needed skill it takes with a JLD Bridge Dr. to
fix a bellied guitar's top
.


¿ What is the present cost of a top repair/removal-replacement anyways these days for a Martin
?

EZ :
