  I like hide glue for bridges, but only if it’s mixed from scratch. It’s a pain, but it’s the most future proofed option for rework. If it’s an inexpensive guitar just getting it up and running again on a budget, can’t beat old Titebond.
  
  Question, did the glue joint fail on this one or did the runout fail ? It’s very clean.

  It is an inexpensive guitar and they glued the bridge onto the finish around the edges. See below before I cleaned it up. I ended up using titebond. I’m inexperienced with hide glue. The bridge popped off with a knife without even heating it up. Even though it was glued to the finish I’m surprised at how easy it came off.

    @Ungabungaman Nothing wrong with titebond on a cheap guitar. Nice work getting that finish off of there.
