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.
Shipping Damage & Bridge Re-glue :: 1971 Guild D25 Brown [4.2 lbs]
An all-mahogany Guild dreadnought that came in with significant shipping damage on the bass side. The side cracks were glued and the finish repaired to help hide the damage. We also found that the bridge was lifting and cracked through the pin holes, so it was removed, repaired and re-glued.
Bridge Re-glue :: 1971 Guild D25 Brown
A shipping-damaged Westerly Guild in for side repairs and a lifting bridge. Here the bridge has been removed, fit, glued and clamped with hot hide glue. The bridge was split though the pin holes so that was repaired as well.
Fret Level :: 2015 Guild T-50 Slim [5.8 lbs]
Here's a new import Guild with some uneven fret work that needed to be addressed. Once leveled, this is a great vintage-inspired hollowbody.
Custom bridge for an underset neck :: 1961 Guild M-65 3/4 CW [4.7 lbs]
A long time ago, someone sat on this guitar at a party and broke the neck joint. The owner decided to repair it himself, but under-set the neck slightly. The bridge I am replacing here is a tuneomatic that was too tall to get the strings down enough for decent action. A new low profile rosewood bridge was fabricated to compenste for the low neck angle. I ended up inlaying a carbon fiber beam though most of the bottom of the new bridge for rigidity. The single P90 on this guy is nasty (i.e. awesome). And yes, another unfortunate casualty of the hardware store refinisher.
