Im sure ill get some advice here, hopefully!!! I am ready to put a finish on a Triple 0 kit from Stew Mac, putting a french polish on it. Stew Mac recommend leaving the bridge till after the finish, I have thought long and hard about it and think it would be "cleaner" to go opposite way!!! I know it would be easier to apply a finish without the bridge there, its a Spruce top. Any opinions folks.
