In this video I show my process for making and attaching the bridge. The order of my last couple steps is a little bit unconventional - a lot of people spray a finish before attaching the bridge. I'm going to do a rub on finish so I can wait for that until after my bridge is already on. Here are some links to some helpful bridge related things:

The craftsmanship and attention to detail is really something. I wish you had a video of the guitar being played. As you pointed out, the neck joint is somewhat unique, I am wondering with the lack of a dovetail joint how well the guitar sustains a note?

Great work Adam! That guitar looks awesome & I bet that it will play amazingly well. BTW, I did the same & took my guitar to a luthier friend of mine & let him do the final set up. I hope that you are going to let us hear how it plays.............. :)

HEY!!! are you going to make any more videos??!!! your such a great teacher and i love your videos!!!! PLEASE post more!!!!!

@AGuyDoingStuffAdam 4 года назад

Sam Hryszczuk hey thanks Sam I appreciate it! I have moved on to some different stuff in my life and don’t actually have a wood shop right now. I have considered doing a series about renovating an old airstream sometime in the future... we’ll see though. I really appreciate the feedback though, it means a lot to me that people have watched/learned from my videos

@SasquaPlatypus 6 лет назад

Looks awesome!! Looking forward to seeing it finished. How do you like the second sound hole?

@AGuyDoingStuffAdam 6 лет назад

SasquaPlatypus thanks! I used a side soundhole on my first guitar and I liked it a lot! I didn’t do one on this guitar because I was too stressed out at the time I was supposed to be cutting it and figured it’d be better to have one less thing to worry about. I do like having it on the first but I don’t think it makes much of a difference for sound - I just think it looks cool

Could I buy a guitar you made? I really love the work you did👍

Total non-guitar person here so go easy, are all guitar bridges glued down? Was it always done this way?

@JMLRecording 3 месяца назад

Do you use wood glue or Hyde glue to glue this down?

@germanarturo11 Год назад

What glue do you use that can hold 160 lb of tension exerted by the cords??? What brand?

@irisquimson-juntillatedste8823 3 года назад

Hello, can i ask question? Can i put screw on my guitar bridge? So that it can hold strong .... Is it ok?

@robedwards4422 5 лет назад

Hi Adam my strings are cutting into my bridge from the pegs is that ok thanks

@AGuyDoingStuffAdam 5 лет назад

Rob Edwards I think it’s ok but if I were you I’d take it to a local guitar store and let them look at it. Bridge/nut/saddle stuff is my least sure thing of the whole process as far as being comfortable w minute adjustments and everything

@robedwards4422 5 лет назад

@@AGuyDoingStuffAdam thanks for that i will get it sorted tomorrow

You would be surprised how many "high end" factory guitars leave the factory with a less than optimal neck set and bridge placement... Seems even the pros make mistakes
