Repairing a classical guitar for $10.04

I was given a student-grade classical guitar, as the owner didn't want to pay the cost of re-gluing the bridge. With $0.05 of glue, a few clamps, and $9.99 for some new strings, this guitar is back to playable.

Nothin like a quick n easy fix to be able to rehome an instrument for someone in need. Well done.

Thanks. It will be headed off to the local middle school for the next generation of guitar players to learn on

Does the sanding board have the same radius as the guitar top? I might recommend sanding the bottom of the bridge using sandpaper on the guitar top at the location of the bridge. This should help keep the radius of curvature of the bottom of the bridge to match that of the guitar top.

Thanks for checking out the video!
This is more of a conceptual video…in this case, a 15 ft radius is more appropriate for a back. So you could use it to sand the braces, use it part of a go-bar and so on.
I absolutely agree that once you get the the point of fitting parts to a specific guitar, then you can just use the guitar to customize the bridge based on that specific radius
