GUEST,Mathew	How Does A Guitar Survive Heavy Strings? (10)	How Does A Guitar Survive Heavy Strings?	20 Mar 17
Hello all, I have a Fender acoustic guitar that I put very heavy bronze strings on about a year ago. I tuned it a step down and love the sound/ feel of the strings. However I recently picked it up again after not playing it for a while, and I've noticed that the glue holding down the bridge is starting to loosen and the bridge is starting to come up just a touch. Is my guitar broken? Can it take the force of the strings? Will it get worse? What can I do to fix it? Is there anything I can do in future to protect my guitar AND have very heavy strings? Thanks for the info, cheers Mathew
