Ok so....
The hot knife worked really well...its really slipped through like a hot knife thru butter
Umm the new replacement bridge is a bit bigger than the old one....expecially at the ends its a fair bit thicker..
This is a good thing since it'll cover up the footprint of the old one nicely but do I have to cut the finish away to match the new bridge before I glue it?
Im guessing I need to align the new bridge, trace around it and cut the finish away..
One other thing, Ive uploaded a pic of the bridge footprint..I was hoping someone could tell me if it needs to be fillled before gluing..
This pic is directly after the bridge has been taken off...no sanding etc.....
Thanks alot
