Aster1, Thank GOD for your articulate and common-sense abilities in explaining this stuff to people! I do not have the patience or verbal ability to do so.
I again do not understand why this topic was locked after your concise and non-confrontational explanation.
The only thing I can say is....."we are so-screwed" as a nation with the 'likes' of most people nowada...

Hey Travis, you changed your name? Pressure from the store....or change jobs?

My hope is to remove the bridge and flatten again and glue the cracks, then re-attache the bridge with hot-hide glue. If I cannot get the bridge right, I have suggested to the owner that a re-placement would be necessary. Again, I will try to get a pic of the damage, Rod

Hey Travis! Enjoying the pics of cool Gibsons! I have in for repair a '67-'68 B25 for a bridge fix. Just wondering if you would mind consulting me over the job? I will try to post some pics.
The guitar is sunburst in primo condition other than th "belly-down" adj wood bridge has cracked and pulled up from the rear to the crack joints which extend into the adjustment...

Hey ArchA-
A little too rich for my blood I'm afraid! You may want to consider consigning them with one of the major dealers. They would get more exposure and interest that way. Buyers that are looking for prime examples and spending big bucks want the assurance of authenticity and documentation when making such a deal.
Good Luck, Rod

Sorry to get off topic with personal rants.We are living through some very 'devisive' times in the USA. The president is devisive and has the Media in tow. The citizenry is split down the middle and this is not the America that I grew up with.
Its a mess!.......

I feel that I am doing much better than I deserve for all my vices and rowdiness. I will say that I have a good heart and that it goes out to all in need. I always felt that you are a good person and good 'will' come to you in this adverse time!
Miss your 'girl touch' on this forum of heathen 'ner-do-wells'-Ha!
Welcome back...when you will...Magics wait...

I am sorry to hear that this is happening to you. We never know what awaits us. A good lady friend of mine is going through the same thing. I am lifted by her positive attitude about it and her treatment. It can be beat with the modern technology available these days....so keep the faith! In all honesty, I wish I had the power to heal the whole world of ills.
Sometimes , I feel that......
