Off He Goes Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hello everyone! I am almost finished restroting my Hagstrom, and I have to fit a new bridge. This means that I have to fill the two holes left by the old bridge. Then I have to drill smaller holes for the new bridge. So, I need to know how much trouble it is going to be to fill in the holes. Should I do it, or let my tech do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Is it like a tune-o-matic bridge? The best way would probably be to find a wooden dowl the same size as the hole and glue that in. Then drill into the dowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Good Lord, I swear you wrote you were almost finished DESTROYING your Hagstrom. I was going to ask the name of the people who pick up your garbage! I gots to get some computer glasses. OOPS, almost forgot to reply. I guess you are gonna forgoe the tuno and put in a through-the-back string ferrule and all thingie? If the new bridge is gonna cover the old tuno holes, once they are plugged, as previously suggested, I don't think you have anything else to worry about except making those dowel inserts strong and permanent. I just LOVE Hagstroms. Don't forgat to seal the ends of those new, glued-in dowels with some laquer or nail polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
