Well, here's the story: My last 2 guitars have been fitted with a pinless bridge design kinda like Elliot guitars invented, with rod pins that let the string end balls hook on to. Unfortunately last night I wasn't paying to much attention (again ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() the question is: does any one know of a good way to loose the CA without damaging the bridge? please? Any help would be more than welcome ![]() Thanks in advance |

I think acetone will dissolve CA. Maybe try to 'wick' some in by the rod with a pipette while pushing. Be carefull not to drip it on your finish if it's dissolved by acetone, maybe mask off your soundboard. An icepick might be a good tool to push the rod.....grind the sharp point down. CrowDuck |

I'd personally apply a soldering iron (a CLEAN TIPPED one that's NOT tinned), and push on through. |

Peter, Yeah, try what Mattia said, I forgot about that one. If the tip is 'tinned', get it hot and wipe it clean with a wet sponge or cloth. CrowDuck |
