Congress BW-4151CB Acoustic | Part 5

August 20 Update

After three weeks of belly reduction treatment, the clamps finally came off. The next step was to determine the exact location for the new bridge and outline it with masking tape. Having done that, it was time to scrape, sand and level the area underneath the bridge. A test fitting followed, and to my dismay, the bridge pin holes of the new bridge were out of line with the existing bridge pin holes in the top. This meant that I would have to plug the holes in the top and drill new ones later. Stay tuned for more updates.
