This was a Gibson SJ Deluxe acoustic guitar with a cracked bridge block, broken face under the bridge, loose brace and broken bridge.<\/p>\n
These repairs involved repairing the bridge plate with a thin veneer to the inside plus routing and adding spruce to the face underneath the bridge. Then I built a handmade bridge slightly over-sized to cover up all the mess on the face!<\/p>\n
Of course, cleaning up the entire guitar involved making a new bridge saddle, and all of the adjustments to make it play properly.<\/p>\n
