I've got an acoustic guitar that i was asked to restring. I didn't notice the seperation of the bridge to the body at first. But after i restrung i noticed it wouldn't stay in tune at all and noticed the problem.
I'm not familiar with acoustic repairs. Can someone tell me if this is repairable?
I believe the guitar was stored in a basement and it warped the body (if thats what ya call it). its a cheaper model classical acoustic. i'm afraid with the string tension it will seperate completely.
worth tryin to repair? or just buy another cheaper model?
Definitely repairable. The bridge needs to be heated off, then the glue needs cleaned off of both the top of the guitar and the bottom of the bridge. After that, reglue the bridge, being sure the placement is precise as not to screw up the scale or intonation. Whatever you do , DO NOT use gorilla glue. Use titebond, white luthiers glue or hide glue. Hope this helped.

that would fix the bridge. but what about the bubble in the wood?
