Hi Everyone,
I was given this guitar to harvest parts from and then throw into a fire due to a partial break in the neck.
When I pull the neck to close the break the action is perfect so I’d like to fix it and then donate it.
Can anyone show me what clamps to use to keep it closed after I glue it?
Also, would you recommend strait wood glue or…

Reply to Bridge Conversion - Left to Right
Hi There,
I understand the sandpaper option so I can simply sand the new bridge back and forth over the area until it takes the required shape but I was wondering what you would do with the scrapers?
I have access to these from a local supplier.

Happy Friday Everyone!
I have a friend that bought a worn out looking used guitar recently and has asked me to change it from a lefty to a righty.
As you can see from the one photo there is a bulge in the soundboard that they won’t want to invest to fix correctly before having the new right handed bridge installed.
He could buy a new or better…

Hi Everyone,
I hope you’re having a great weekend!
Can anyone help diagnose my mystery B string buzz?
I tried to attach a video but the site won’t take it.
I’ve tightened all hardware and the b string is not hitting any frets.
I’m giving it a set-up and when I had to lower the nut slot height of the B string it improved a…

Detached Wiring - Wire Hanger Enhancement
Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
I have some wiring that has come loose in an acoustic guitar as the adhesive attached to the wire hangers has failed after about 1.5-2 years.
Normally I would just pop in new ones but I’m wondering if there is a stronger adhesive that can be added instead of just relying on the sticky tape…

Hi Everyone,
What do you feel is the best way to remove the file marks from the frets after leveling and crowning with a fret crowning file?
I’m happy with the shape and overall feel of the frets after crowning so this is an aesthetic issue more than anything.
These are the files I’m using. The centered versions of 150…

Hi Folks,
I’m new here so I appreciate any input upfront!
I had this guitar come through the shop and I’ve run up against something for the first time.
The neck needs a little relief but when I went to adjust the truss rod the screw was already completely loose thus I couldn’t perform that action.
I tightened it just enough to get the truss rod nut…
