Excellent presentation thanks

How does the hair dryer concentrate heat to certain areas better than the hot iron you were using? I thought the iron looked like the ideal way to direct heat with more precision than blowing hot air Seems like blowing hot air would disperse way beyond your targeted area

Does guitar sound same nd is guitar long lasting after removing nd sticking bridge again?

I just bought an used Epiphone Expedition with the same problem. I hope it will turn out well 😇

If my bridge resets turned out like that... I would quit being a guitar tech tomorrow.

That was freaking great man thanks!

Do you still have that bridge you removed? Looks like a BC Rich acoustic bridge from the 70's.

Good video. I replaced the bridge on my fender cd60 with this method. It worked a treat.

Say you were going through a collection of CZcams videos trying to replace a bad bridge job put on an old Alvarez 5065 in otherwise perfect condition, and none of them really covered how to get started on a bridge that was all the way glued down, and none of them mentioned that too much heat can damage the lacquer, and then you watched this and decided to get a low power heat gun normally used for cell phone screen replacement and have a go at the bridge, all taped up like you showed in the video, only to then remove the tape and discover you've absolutely ruined the lacquer finish? Like is there a video on here that would actually show me how to fix this, because this guitar cost me $500, and its from the 70's, and I really like it, and quite honestly, having used this site to successfully do tons of repairs that were outside my field of expertise, quite honestly most of the guitar videos on here are kind of half-assed pieces of garbage, in one form or another. Maybe if I'd watched 30 of them I would have had all the information needed to avoid this, but quite honestly it's hard to know what you don't know, ya know? FUCK!!!!

Thanks. Quick. Straight to the piont.

Im working on inventing my own acoustic instrument, which involves a custom bridge. this video was helpful in getting the old one off. Thank you!

Your voice would be great on tv for a televised golf game

Thanks, this worked perfectly, I was trying with heat, but after using a damp rag and heat, it did the trick for me.

I don't have any doubt that you're the right procedure but I'm a little skeptical on the tapping unless you're installing a new wider bridge otherwise it can't be. Misaligned and out of the original place it was and end up showing some raw wood, and a gap.

Great video and very informative. But what glue is best to use when putting new bridge on.

what was the name of the brand you used for glue?

Very interesting. I'm just starting out building my own guitars, and making a neck is something of a mystery.

This is an awesome website. I love it. I wish I knew where to buy the wooden clamps.

This tutorial is very good, in its simplicity, in showing how to take a bridge off. So many of the other commentaries found on youtube skip a quantum leap so that you are lost as to how to do this in reality. Heat is very important here. So, what to use. ? A regular iron, an industrial iron, a hair dryer, a glue pot etc.? How to heat your spatulas?. Guitar guy pretty well answered this .

Wow I think I would have come at it from the far side a little before "popping" the bridge off like that. Don't you run the risk of tearing up some major top wood by making it pop like that?

What did you use to remove to glue? And where can I get one?

How did you fill in the areas where the bridge did't cover the old bridge area and there is raw wood there?

would have been nice if he would have mentioned probably the most inportant point of what type of glue to use

Thank you, it is very helpful. I bought a used Epiphone for someone who wants to learn. I just found that the bridge start to lift. The guitar is to cheap to be fixed by a professional, but with this tutorial I will do it easy.

Very informative video. Thank you for uploading!

fantastic thank you

I like the simplicity and quality of this video. Plus, I learned something.
