HEy Folks, Just wondered if anyone had a source for a 4-inlay SJ200 bridge? I have a 52/53′ in for restoration, and…well… I like replacements better than making them if I can help it, especially this mustashio’d monster!

Im going to attach some photos of a 000-style guitar from Potomac(I believe an Eastman product) that has some top cracks and deformation around the neck block from what I assume to be a shift of the neck block.

Fretboard flatness during refret process.....
This may have been covered in any number of vids by Big Daddy Proper or Paw Paw Erlewine, but I wondered how flay everyone goes when it comes to fretboard prep and refrets.

I have the following 55’ J-45. The top has some serious belly, and has had not one, but two different directions of bridge on it at various points. I’m trying to flatten the top out with Thompson belly reducers. I first tried the standard plates…

Headstock Repair alignment LoothPrint
A while back, I remember seeing a headstock repair jig that had been #d printed in this forum. AS I dont have a printer or room for one, would anyone be willing to print me one of these jigs and I can pay you for your time and materials to do so? I would love to try out printing my own tools/Jigs, but I just dont have the time or free change…
