I own a Corona built D55. The bridge is now lifting for the second time, having been reglued once by a local repair guy.
This time, I decided to seek the services of a better luthier. Called three guys in the metro NY area.
- One doesn't do Guild bridge work any longer. He said via email "I stopped doing bridge lifts on Guilds a few years ago.
I stopped making bridges a few years back and have run across several Guilds that needed the bridges replaced rather than reglued. They are virtually impossible to get and need to be fabricated."
- One said that he has never been able to reglue a Guild bridge and have the repair hold so he stopped working on them.
- Third one will look at the guitar next week.
Anyone here have a similar experience? I really do like the guitar and want this to work!
