benros -> advice needed, how to deinstall bridge (Jul. 7 2017 6:30:25)
i just bought a really nice sanchis lopez guitar, which is in good shape overall, but the bridge has come up (theres a gap between the wings of the bridge and the soundboard, if you look from behind) and needs to be deinstalled, cleaned and reglued. has anybody an advice for a good method to dissolve the glue/remove the bridge gently? im not sure, but i think its titebond.

How did you do it?

to be honest, i just filled it up with titebond and clamped it. otherwise i had to make a new bridge, cause the sanchis brothers had drilled the stringholes so deep, that it seemed nearly impossible to deinstall it in one piece. not elegant, but it worked.

Not a bad solution really. It didn't seem to be lifting underneath the tie block which would be far more serious. The excess Titebond can be cleaned up really easily with water and a cloth and anything more stubborn will lift of the finish fairly easily with a very steady hand and a chisel.
