GUEST,Jerry How to replace a guitar bridge (8) RE: How to replace a guitar bridge 13 Sep 25


I’m assuming simple fixes like adjusting the truss rod, hydrating the inside of the guitar to help lift the whole table, using a lighter string gauge, inserting a wedge in the string’s nut slot, etc are not the answer. If the bridge is lifting from the soundboard then yes it needs to be reset anyway, but removing it is only part of the job; ideally you need c clamps to hold the re-glued bridge in place for a while, plus something more than normal household glue, otherwise it will soon lift again, due to whatever is already causing that.
