Once again, inversely to what was
suggested in the assembly instructions, I stuck the bridge on the guitar before
applying lacquer. I did not want to take the risk to damage the lacquer which
surrounds the bridge. To be sure to make a good job, I decided to use the
bridge clamping caul (#4600) with the Sloane Bridge Clamp (#0682) available
at Stewart-MacDonald. I was very satisfied with these tools and I recommend
them for this kind of use.
