If u r not sure about your abilities and you have a luthier in the area that knows GJ guitars I'd take it to them
My lame content continues!
So I sanded down the bridge. I didn’t do a fantastic job but it sounds pretty good, pretty solid. I know it should have been sanded on the guitar so that the feet would follow the arch of the top. There was so much I wanted to take off though that I didn’t want to be sanding right on the guitar forever, I should have though.
So the bass side is making good contact, the treble side’s a little weird, there’s a little gap. The foot makes contact closer to the inside arch of the bridge than the outside. Maybe I could slide a really thin shim in there but I really doubt it would make that much difference. It sounds pretty good and intonation is decent.
The original bridge that came on this was a nice piece of ebony(?) but way too high (for me) not enjoyable. I put on a lower height bridge from a previous Latcho Drom that I had but the string spacing was narrower so figured I’d try to tweak this one. It’s not bad. Surprised myself that I didn't totally butcher it. :)
