Quick repair question: my custom "Oily" bone and wood slide finally arrived from Saudi Arabia, along with all our other household goods. In two pieces. It is otherwise undamaged. What glue did you use to join the bone to the wood? I believe I can fix it, but need to know just that part of your process, if you would be so kind. Over half our stuff is water-damaged and / or moldy...

At 8:19am on November 13, 2014, Bill Baker said…: Randy, I am thinking about a project CBG (3 string), using different components from whom I consider to be the top guys out there. You are certainly the Bridge guy...I have not decided yet on the Neck, Body, Pickup etc.

My question is: Do you keep some bridges made up that I could choose from or all yours custom made? Obviously there needs to be some matching done to the Body etc. I lean towards real cigar boxes, not shop made and retaining the stickers, labels etc.

Thanks

Bill
