Introduction

Greetings

Just finishing up guitar build numero dos(Torres SE114) and starting lute build numero uno. Bridge is on, shellac, tuners and strings not yet.

Had a number of mishaps on this build, tripped on the stairs carrying the body on he solera and the back ready to glue on. The body survived, the back was totalled.

Tried a hide glue rubbed joint on the bridge, no clamps just hand held. Will it hold?

Pete in upstate NY.
