Blues Creek Guitars - Cheap & Easy Bridge Clamp & Caul

In this Video, John Hall, Blues Creek Guitars, demonstrates a jig he came up with to help clamp a bridge. This jog costs pennies, and is a cheap alternative to expensive bridge clamp jigs.

Great! I got that "Ah, yeah, of course!", moment when I saw what you'd done, but the penny would never have dropped without watching your video. Thank you.

Thank you Sir! I'll be attempting this on my old classical guitar 🙏

Thank you! Worked great and is very simple!

[@ruisousa4835]

It can be tricky to get clamps through the sound hole sometimes, this method is very interesting, thanks for sharing

[@lespauloholic]

This just reinforces that there are many ways to get a job done, and some are really low cost. This may be just the tip to give someone the courage to do a repair that seemed daunting and that they thought would require buying expensive tools. Thanks!!

Where is Jimmy Hall shop at ?

[@michaelburkmier488]

How can I meet you John Tim and Glen?

[@thefreese1]

Did I understand correctly ? You actually drilled holes into the bridge ?

[@LaSalle.ToneWorks]

Not John, but all bridges have the 6 holes in them for the strings to pass through - those holes will need to be there eventually. Make sense?
