Part of the design was to use a Schaller suspended bridge. Over the years, the posts have rocked forward in the body sufficiently to render the bass unplayable. I want to replace the bridge with one that sits flat on the body, but there is an area that has been routed out that needs patched, preferably to match the rest of the top (see pic).
The leather dye I used to colour the wood has either faded or been absorbed into the body over time, leaving some splotchy spots.
I did not have sufficient tools when I first created it to add the bevel to the back of the body. I have always regretted that as it does not sit as comfortably as I would like it to.
I have e-mailed a couple of places in Auckland to see if they would undertake this sort of work, including Mr. Glyn and G-Spot Guitars, but I have had no response.
Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who could help me out?
