Bridge Repairs
Has your acoustic guitar’s bridge started lifting or pulling away from the body? Don’t worry — it’s a common issue, and the good news is it’s repairable.
The bridge is at the heart of your guitar’s tone – critical for transferring string vibrations to the soundboard so you can hear that beautiful sound. When it comes loose, you might notice buzzing, poor sound, or even trouble staying in tune. If left too long, it can cause bigger problems
What we Do
At our workshop, we carefully:
- Assess the problem looking both internally and externally
- Remove and clean the old bridge area
- Re-glue the bridge with high-quality luthier’s glue
- Clamp and set it securely for long-lasting strength
- Restring and check the setup so it plays beautifully again
Why get it fixed?
A solid bridge means better sound, reliable tuning, and peace of mind knowing your guitar is in good health.
Once a bridge starts lifting, it will continue to lift until eventually it separates from the top of the guitar causing more damage.
A lifting bridge can also be an indication of additional internal structural issues.
Have I got a Problem?
It is usually easy to see that the bridge on your acoustic guitar is lifting. Look along the back edge for a gap between bridge and the top. If you can slide a sheet of paper under the edge even to a small distance, its time to get it checked.
