Guitar Repair Videos Gretsch 6124 Archtop Bridge Install

Keith Holland repairs Archtop Bridge on a 60’s Gretch 6124 Archtop Vintage Guitar.
In this video, Keith shows a Gretsch 6124 that is undergoing a restoration. When new, this 6124 originally came with an Archtop style bridge that rested on the top of the body. Somewhere in this guitar’s history it had holes drilled into the top for a Tune-O-Matic bridge to be installed. Keith’s first step was to fill the holes with Maple dowel rod.
The next step was to shape the bottom of the bridge so that it makes a matching fit with the top of the Archtop. This is a little tricky, and Keith decided to make a video so you can see how its done in order to make a solid contact with the top.
