egoidealmusic Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 So, I was working on the hairline cracks on my J-45 (will update on that thread but took a pic of the underside, and there's a huge hole filled with glue. Can't tell if it's just through the plate. Also some pretty sloppy glue cleaning on the braces. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 That’s a location hole enabling the factory to mount the bridge in the right location for scale and intonation. Was a long discussion of this a few years ago. That epoxy is harder than the Maple bridge plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoidealmusic Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Thanks, Dan--and crazy. That a surprisingly large hole. I'll try to find that old thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 As Dan says. This can probably be seen on all the modern acoustic from the Montana plant, The hole may move depending on the model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
