Well, I was thinking of trying some heavier gauge strings. I know you can't tell by looking, but I did a subtle reinforcement of the bridge to accommodate slightly heavier strings.Beautiful glue lines, but you’re missing a B string, so your sound will likely be compromised. Have you tried those new Uber Ultra Ultimate strings in Just Right Light gauge? It’ll make all the difference!
You should hear the sustain on that thing now Charlie! It made all the difference.The "tone screws," "resonator bolts," and "epoxy sound clarifier" are nice touches, West!
How about I open a shop Shelby........."West's Glue and Screw"?You are going to be flooded with request! Custom reglued guitar bridges are rare, indeed.

... this thing isn't worth trying to restore...
Me too! It's mojination will vanish.Restore it?
Who would ever want to attempt to restore it? And violate all that MOJO ...years of MOJO?
To think anyone would dare to even broach the subject of trying to "improve" such a fabulous icon of meaningful use... discarding each and every scratch, ding, dent, buckle rash, gouge, hole, missing section of wood, and additional unnecessary hardware, purposeful or accidental, into the dustbin of history, never to be seen again... think of the children...
I'm near weeping!
Pinky rest.I like the screw on the right that still sticks up - is that a "tremolo screw"?!
