what do i do if the bridge is litterally pealing off of my acoustic guitar?

take it all the way off, very carefully. usually squirt some hot water in there and let the glue soften up a little bit, then use a flat long blade/spatula type object to gently pry it off the body of the guitar. if the top itself has bubbled up, or a portion of it has taken a dive towards the soundhole, then you have to carve into the bottom of the bridge and make it match the new and unfortunate contour of the top of the guitar. glue it together with hide/wood glue (preferably hide glue)and let it set/dry for a couple days.
even at that, the top can't be reshaped really... unless you take the top off, remove all the bracings, and steam/press it flat. which then requires refinishing. and then reattaching all the bracings with hide glue. then glue the top back on, clamp it with some spool clamps and let it sit for a couple days.

it's not worth doing on anything unless it's something pretty valuable/historic. the removing of the top anyways.

bridge reset's not such a pain in the ass.



ugh that sounds like such a pain in the ass. i got the thing for sick deal ($60 i think?) the bridge is warped so i'll prob have to replace that anways. maybe ill fuck around with it an see what happens. thanks for the info dude
