Gluing a bridge 2 part series

Post by tippie53 »

Gluing the bridge is one of the most important operations of building a guitar. This video series was done a while ago and will show you how and where to place the bridge and the proper gluing technique for attaching the bridge.
I can't stress enough that this is one of the most important joints. Note that the bridge has a caul under its full length to avoid deformation. Any gaps under the bridge can weaken the joint.
Here to help, as always.
