Fender Acoustic Guitars Are Lame

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
  • A fairly common problem with acoustic guitars of this type.
    The bridge is an essential component of the guitar that holds the strings in place and transfers their vibrations to the soundboard. Over time, the bridge can become loose or damaged, affecting the guitar's playability and tone. In this video, I show the repair process, which involves removing the bridge, cleaning and prepping the guitar top, cleaning the bridge and installing it on its palce.
    In the second part, I show the process of fret leveling. It is a crucial part of guitar maintenance, as it ensures that the frets are level and even, allowing for accurate intonation and a smooth playing experience. Over time, the frets can become uneven due to wear and tear or changes in temperature and humidity

    I fixed a friends guitar with a lifting bridge a while ago, but luthery is just my hobby. Cheap guitar, bridge was factory glued onto polyurethane top coat, hence the lift. I used similar methods and this video verifies I did it the right way. Still, my repair left a 1mm gap surrounding the bridge showing the repair work because I don't have your exacting skills. Again, cheap guitar and also a free repair. Ugly but functional and the bridge is now anchored. I'm pleased with how I clamped it without long reach clamps: a top block and bottom block sandwiching the bridge and the soundboard with screws through the bridge pin holes, then wedges fixing the wings of the bridge till the glue squeezed out.

    Absolute crap factory work here. Did this same job on a friend's 15 yo Ibanez a few months back. I didn't have to do much to the bridge, it was near enough off, but half an inch of polyurehtane with the bridge glued on top. Really hard stuff to clean off. You have a bit more gear and a surer hand than me, but mine worked.
