Vintage 1955 Special


L96A1

Recommended Posts

As you know a lot of the 1955 specials had leaning bridge due to the short stud and soft mahogany, has anyone had this repaired by Gibson?

How exactly will they fix this? As I assume the mahogany near the front edge of studs is pressed into a forward bent.

I have seen some photos of this problem so I think I know what you mean.

 

My guess is that they would use longer studs. If they are anchored deeper into the wood then even if the wood is chipped out a little at the front, the studs would stay up straight and so would the bridge.

 

But really just a guess on my part.

I actually pulled out the studs and I can see the cavity route, not sure how much deeper it can go.
