Subject: RE: Guitar: Removing glossy finish
To "scrape" around the edge of the bridge,you could use what we call in England a "scribe" ; it's a thin metal rod, with a serrated or knurled surface to aid grip, about 6 to 8 inches long,with a right-angle at one end, both of which have sharp points.You could get in really tight with the angled end,against the bridge edges, and get the varnish out by pulling the scribe towards you . I used to use one for getting the rubber "O" -rings out of the hydraulic cylinders of the General Electric A I 18 radar system !!
