bridge lifting
This M-20 has been in the shop multiple times now for bridge reglues. Seems it likes to fail yearly most likely due to the fact it is so thin in the wings. I am trying to hold off on replacing the bridge until the guitar needs a neck reset. But really I think the guitar is pissed I did this to it's brother.
Bridge re-glue :: 1996 Martin HD-28
The bridge was removed, refit and re-glued with hot hide glue. Before refitting the bridge, a top center seam crack was reinforced and splinted.

Refitting a failing bridge glue joint along with a top crack.
Failing Bridge :: 1971 Guild D25 Brown
A soft gooey glue joint is allowing this bridge to pull up from the mahogany top. It will be heated, removed, refit and re-glued. There are also small cracks in the Brazilian bridge between the bridge pin holes, so they will be repaired as well.
