Isn't hide glue much better for gluing bridges to transfer the sound?

I re-glued an old Hondo H308A bridge using thin coats of Titebond on the bridge and the lower top very carefully. I used 2* 1/8" machine screws and wing nuts to ensure the bridge is flat and snug to it (after it set well the 2 1/8" holes were re-filled with snug glued dowels... and let it all dry for 24 full hours. It worked well and I did NOT need to buy any clamps for the bridge... just 2 X 2" screws and matching wing nuts.

Thanks a lot for watching and for sharing your method of repair a loose Bridge 🕺🏻👍Best Regards Nik

[@sandrapisu-jocic8510]

Please help , the neck on the body has a crack. when tuning the arm bends. what do I do? I love it.

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks for your question. If there is a crack you have to glue it because the damage on the Instrument can get much bigger if you don't take care about this issue. Best Regards Nik

[@michelefrogan7150]

Very good!

[@petrekguitars]

[@Antron89]

Great video, as always. I was wondering, when you were cleaning the gluing area: Were you worried at all about the remaining thickness of the soundboard? Could it become too thin?

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback. That’s a good question. Yes that is possible but to avoid this I try just to clean up the old glue and by sanding this area with 80 grid Sandpaper I produce a roughly surface that the new glue get as much grip as possible. This is a old Japan made Classical Guitar they have very thick tops. You have to be careful with handmade Spanish Guitars they are very thin. Best Regards Nik

[@Antron89]

@@petrekguitars thanks for your answer, very insightful!

[@pallecla]

That is how it is done 👍

[@yanasitta]

Great video! I have a Washburn Classical that has a ripped out bridge. It has an internal mic and pickup so I cant really remove the bridge to sand it. The bridge is completely covered in wood that ripped out with ridges in a WWW profile. Can I just glue it back without sanding both sides? If not, is it because this wood is compromised? if so, Is there a reason why gluing flat to flat wood would be better. Thanks!

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback and your question. I understand the problem. The thing is if you make this temporary fix I assume that it won't last long. It's unavoidable to remove the old glue and wood fibers because the new glue don't have any opportunity to soak into the Material. Sure you can try it with epoxy but this not the correct way to repair such an issue. Hope this will help you out. Best Regards Nik

[@zsand]

I was wondering, if the bridge already has holes in it does that mean it has been repaired before? Or do some guitars have the holes already in the bridge? Mine ripped off while playing and I'm just wondering if someone did a bad repair last time.

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for watching and for your question. Sometimes they have holes factory vise because they us it as pilot holes to glue the bridge on the to ion the correct position. Best Regards Nik

[@msilva12000]

Nice. It seems not very difficult. I need to do the same to an old guitar. I wonder what’s the measure on the clamps? They are hard to find. Thanks, Marco

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for your positive Feedback. Yes the clamps are extra long depends on the country you life sometimes you can finde them in hardware stores but online there are surly available. Best Regard Nik

[@michaeljones2820]

How to you repair the warped top ? And bowed bridge ? Also did you make those wood clamps ?

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks for your question. This is hared to explain ...maybe I will do a Video about this topic👍 This are Klemmsia Made in Germany Clamps I have them for about 30 years now. Great Stuff. Best Regards Nik

[@MatuGuitar]

I have repaired many guitars with issues like this. Some guitars were even in worse condition, with the soundboard cracked and needing to be patched up.

[@toneconsultant]

Why did you cut your sanding block at an angle? Aside from that, that's a nice, sharp chisel. Nice work!

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for your question. I did this because I have a better optical control to see the edge of the Block. Thanks for watching. Best Regards Nik

[@lbproductions3613]

How much this classical guitar has to cost to justify the cost of the repair? This is a couple of houndred euro repair.

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks for your question. It's alway worth to repair old and good sounding Instruments. Best Regards Nik

[@markochomba8755]

I have a Folk guitar that is peeling off the bridge, it is old and was given to me as a gift, I want to repair it, do you advise me to take the tension off the strings until I get it repaired or do I leave the guitar in tune?

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for your question. I would relieve the string tension and let relax the top before starting the repair. Hope this will help you out… Best Regards Nik

[@markochomba8755]

@@petrekguitars Thank you very much for your reply, I will loosen the string tension somewhat until I can get it fixed. Thank you

Hallo Nick, wozu benutzt du die Magnete? Es war nicht deutlich zu sehen, besonders mit dem zweiten Magnet. Danke im Voraus.

[@petrekguitars]

Danke für deine Frage. Die Magneten benutze ich um die genauen Positionen der Deckenbalken zu lokalisieren und zu markieren 👍BG Nik

Hallo Guten Abend. Ich muss das selber Arbeit machen. Müsste mein brücke auf meinem Konzertgitarre neu kleben. Können sie mir bitte sagen wie groß sind die Schraubzwingen die sind benutz haben danke.

Hallo, Danke fürs anschauen und die Frage. Das sind besonders große zwingen gibt es im Baumarkt. BG Nik

[@eblackbrook]

Why score the back of the bridge (8:12)?

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks for your question. I have learnt that on my Luthier School. Rosewood can be very oily and the cutting or scraping allows the glue to get a better grip. Don't do this on the spruce to it will weaken the Wood and the fibers can get damaged. Best Regards Nik

[@stuartdavis4762]

Hi, what type of glue did you use? Was it regular PVA ?

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks for your question. I have used classic Titebond Glue, Best Regards Nik

How much will it cost you to fix , a not so great but still playable bolt-on-neck electric guitar , to make it play and sound great ?

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks for your request. It’s always hard to say without having seen the Instrument. Best Regards Nik

[@LuisREINOSO729]

Sino se tiene pez o cola de resina natural, lo mejor es usar cola blanca de carpintero la comun y silvestre para el pegado de las partes de un instrumento.

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for sharing. I mostly use Titebond Glue and sometimes Fish Glue. Depends on the situation. Best Regards Nik

[@LuisREINOSO729]

Si se dan cuenta el puente arrancó las microfibras de la madera y se desprendió, eso ocurre cuando es pegado con ese tipo de cola de alta resistencia, por la tension la madera no soporta la adherencia de este tipo de pegamento y se desprende muy fácilmente.

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts. You are welcome. Best Regards Nik

[@DougHinVA]

I melt the ends of the nylon strings and then wrap them.... so they will not slip at all ...

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks for your feedback and for sharing your method. Best Regards Nik

[@DougHinVA]

clamps are not available like that to a lot of people who do know what to do...and tools like luthiers have are not available to most owners of damaged guitars. A lot of fellows do not have money for tools or a luthier!

[@petrekguitars]

Thanks for sharing your experience and opinion. I have this clamps for about 30 years know and there are about 10 € and If your buy them used even more affordable.. These are really useful tools not just for Luthiers. Best Regards Nik
