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.
Pulling dents & closing cracks :: 1971 Guild D25M
This side crack was damaged during shipping (shown here). Here is a dent that is being pulled shut with a guitar string, a cleat puller and a mahogany cleat inside the guitar. The spool clamps are closing the remaining crack. Next up will be installing a few more cleats on this crack, then addressing a couple other side cracks.
Shipping damage :: 1971 Guild D25 Brown
A shipping courier damaged this all-mahogany dread with a cracked side. This will need to be stitched back together with cleats and require some finish touch ups. Luckily there are no holes or missing pieces. The bridge is also being re-set as well.
