so, bridge onto the mando.
work out the correct place by using my bridge placement jig. this uses the strings to hold the bridge in place while it's slid into place.
then it's cut around with a very sharp blade....
the finish is removed from inside the cut
and then the bridge is glued in place
meanwhile the OM has the pickup fitted inside the bridge and a hole through the top. the hole is small enough to be invisible under the bridge, and still allow about 5mm movement for intonation adjustment
truss rod covers for both the OM and the mando.....
and the back is glued onto the 00 zouk

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
