- This is a good detailed bridge replacement video. It also shows how I set intonation and how I make antler saddles from scratch. Enjoy!

Owners manual says the bridge pins aren't designed to go in all the way to the collar and forcing them in c too much will Crack the bridge owner is lucky he has such a knowledgeable and highly skilled friend.
My first watch. It's a pleasure to watch a patient, true craftsman! I'll be back.
Came for the guitar but stayed for the awesome yodeling at the end. Another masterpiece, Jerry. Thanks!
This Man is a Master.
Good line on cutting a board too short. 🤣 It goes right along with, “You can go farther when you run out of gas than when you run out of oil.”
So nice to hear that gorgeous instrument ring!
Hi, Jerry. Were you aware that the video resolution was uploaded at 360p resolution ? I'm not complaining, just surprised to see your videos at such a low definition. Brilliant fix and detailed showing it. Regards.
It worked great on my end.
720p on mine
You can change the settings for each individual video on your device. 😀
Nice job showing the work details. Video played at 1080p streaming to the TV but on cell phone quality does not look like it is adjustable. TH-cam is always changing something.
Sounds like a Martin 👍
That Martin has a nice sound
I installed my compensated saddle on my Enya Carbon Fiber today. Turned out great and plays like a dream. Thanks for all your help Jerry. The intonation is dead on now.
Excellent as usual. I have only done that once, and I didn't make the bridge. It is much harder than most think to do. I use your method exactly and I was successful in the end.
I'm so glad i find your excellent video
Nice work the old school cats know there stuff iam a lot like that just need the machine tools but I do quite well on hand work
Thanks!
Nice job as always Jerry
Good job...nerves of steel!
That bridge you made is a thing of beauty.
Great Wayfaring Stranger clip. Nice n bluesy!
Jimmie Rodgers TB Blues was unexpected. And very brief. The blue yodeler is a bit different than the bluegrass we have come to expect.
Nice job, as usual.
Thank you
Also. Video resolution at 360
I think I would've made a test saddle out of wood that was thin enough to go in and out easily and I would know the depth and if the bottom was flat or had a ledge. Then when the wood test saddle was seated securely and all the way down, make a mark on it even with the point where it is exposed. Then you could lay it on the side of the bone saddle and make a small mark just below that point on the bone saddle. Then when it disappears as you are seating it, you would know when it's all the way down. Something like that maybe. It just seemed like you were unsure of when the saddle was completely seated in the slot. But I'm sure that you got the job done correctly.
Shame about the 360p video resolution. The deer antler inside was just a blur.
Sound here
Where’s the best place to get Ebony blanks? Love you vids!
Thank you Jerry especially for pointing about preparing the area where the bridge lies in and to be careful with the direction of using the tool you are using and considering that grains direction since it is open book matched top. Thank you a great job . One question is what is your opinion about making slots at the holes using sStewMac knives so the strings ends will lock much better at the top of the guitar ? Great job again as always especially with your skills and experience. Thank you my friend Jerry, blessings and Regards from ENGLAND 🏴👍👍👏👏
Another great video & job. The guitar sounds great. Gray should be very happy with the new bridge. Jerry, What is the make & model of the Digital Caliper you have? And where did you buy it from?" I hope you don't mind me asking ). Many thumbs up to your videos. Stay well & safe.
I don't got the ol' TB? Priceless!
Sounds good, nice! Surprised you just don't buy a new bridge from Martin if possible... They probably have a jig that knocks those things out
acetone dissolves CA glue easily
Great job. If I were trying to fix that, I would probably use router to remove crack and glue in a plug. But I am not skilled to use a router or any of tools you are using, except drill and screw driver :)
Video resolution at 360p
I was watching your video about you something about you talkin about the instrument you built didn't you play that one time down there to Houston House
Another amazing job, very entertaining, too. I’ve gotta say, though, you sure make me nervous when you’re making those small cuts with the band saw, using your fingers instead of a push stick. I know you ‘now what you’re doing, just would hate to see you accidentally cut one of those digits. 😊
Maybe I missed it, but how did you finish the top of the saddle? Did you have to slope the B string to comp for intonation or anything like that?
are there different angled reamers for different guitars? @31 min in.
Why no hi def?
Hi I’m wondering how to get a 80’s d35 Martin that needs a few new frets due to being worn down repaired at your shop Thanks
Glad to see you didn't put a padauk bridge on this one
^ ^ Absolutely amazing Mr Rosa! But Im asking myself.... how did luthiers make such amazing and beautiful instruments without precision measuring tools and power tools? We dont know...do we? I build stringed instruments myself......and some are pretty good but you are on another level! Foxy Love fae Scotland VVxx Also it still cracks me up that Americans love inches and feet...sorry that was a cheeky comment. VVxx
Not being a smart alec, but wondering why not buy already made bridges direct from Martin? Too expensive? Great work you do
could you mark a center line on the saddle before taking the old bridge off? so you have a point of refrence when you cut the slot in the new bridge, or are there other things to account for that makes that impossible? @Rosa String Works.
Truly stunning work
Very interesting video. How much time did you spend on the job? Did you consider buying a replacement bridge at stewmac s for 38 dollars?
5:00 As the bridge's top is not flat, the iron wiggles over the top without really transfering the heat.
Flattening the bridge with a grinder (it will be thrown away anyhow) will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
Plus: The thinner the bridge is, the easier the heat will get through the wood.
8:06 Wouldn't make me all happy ;-)
I wonder how old is this guitar , and what about the Martin waranty? It's a true shame that at this kind of price the Martin Factory does'nt gives a lifetime waranty, that surprise me , anyway another good job Jerry
There is no space between the pickguard and bridge. What is that small thing at the bottom of the soundhole?
I saw it too. Looked like a pick, but it looked attached to the soundhole.
im not getting sound on this video
Jerry, NO SOUND.
Great vid, but what's goin on with your recording, it's repeating itself every so often...did anyone else have that problem, could be my phone....???
Not gluing the bridge first? Yes more than likely a new bridge will be needed sometime in the future, however wouldn't it be worth at least trying it first? Now, of course, I haven't seen the guitar, but why was the bridge cracked? Dried out, took a knock (which I could well surmise)? Which ever cause it didn't lift the bridge, it was still on nice and tight. Wood slivers to fill the gap then glue X, sand and jobs a good'un
I don’t know Why Martin Leaves bridge pin holes So tight. Best thing to do Is go to Harbor freight spend five bucks and get you a reamer. Fit your pins as soon as you get your Martin. Saves a lot of trouble.
Probably because the pin holes eventually get a little larger and the pins will go too deep and bury the heads. And so many people don't know that you can reach inside the sound hole and push the pins out from inside. They will use pliers and mess them up. Or worse, they'll use a butter knife and PRY them out! Which of course, leaves indentations in the bridge.
You'd think Martin would pay for this work, having charged 4 grand for the guitar!
Thinking more about it. What would you say caused the bridge to crack?
The owner like the action a little high, and he doesn't play UP the neck!!? How easy to please! You'd HATE to work on MY guitars because I like the action low and I use ALL the frets, even for rhythm parts!! So I'll test EVERYTHING, including string bends. Only in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings on my 6-string acoustics. On my electrics I'll bend EVERY string. So fret levels are not easy on my guitars. Just playing open G, C, and D chords won't cut it.
Another burned top I so surprised. I haven't watched an RSW video in over a year, and he still hasn't learned how to remove a bridge without tearout or scorching laquer. Ugh! Future guitar fixers beware who you learn from
Have you ever tried a router to cut the bridge off a simple jig will do it.....
