Went at the bridge yesterday...
Yours truly doing some grinding.
The result of a lot of hacking, grinding, pounding and swearing.
Theres lots of excess length still which will be ground off. Borrowed my friends mig welder to weld the seems, but still dont have the right 220 outlet.
This is the next big challenge. I am really set on veneering the headstock with a dovetailed piece, but there is that curve near the nut to be accounted for. When I tried bending a couple of pieces that were already glued together, it just de-laminated. I was hoping to bend them individually and then glue together when veneering the headstock, but when I try to bend the pieces the dovetails do not follow shape. Do I need a spring steel slat? Any ideas?
