Problem: a WaRpEd guitar top!
Issue 262 May 19, 2016
High action turned out to be a symptom of trouble for this guitar. The owner felt the strings were a little high. Taking a closer look, Dan Erlewine finds that the bridge is just about to pop off! A hump had formed under the bridge, and Dan comes up with an interesting solution.
Thanks to our friend Dakota Dave Hull for his music in this video.
