Bridge on a Takamine N-10
The bridge ripped off my Takamine N-10 with a loud bang that chilled my bones and broke my heart. A thin layer of the cedar top wood fibres came off with the bridge with the split saddle pickup wire dangling out of the small hole I drilled for it many years ago.
I have a lot of attachment to this amazing instrument made by the skilled luthiers of the japanese factory. I want it to be restored to it's best and I would like advice on how this could be accomplished. I would like to know how this should be done so that I repair it correctly, or find a good luthier who I am capable in trusting this little treasure of mine. Winter are long and dry here in Quebec and I now realize that I have perhaps been negligeant in leaving it out on a stand ready to play at any time. These delicate instruments are like fine cigars from what I understand now. They need humidity as not to become brittle. I hope that this process was not irreversible. Many thanks to you all for your advice Paul.

Repairs are not typically, a + b = c,
Repairs are about assessing whats in front of you and coming up with the best solution, do you have a photo of what you have Steve

Takamine N10 Bridge Repair
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your reply and offer to kindly advise. As requested, here are some images. Paul. After it exploded, I hung it up on the wall rack: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kc9go6w88r...-Hung.JPG?dl=0 I removed the strings and took this picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/98ndhlttc5...Close.JPG?dl=0 (I have a split bridge pickup that I installed, hence the ribbon cable)
