Fender Uke Gets a Bridge
March 27, 2011
The Fender Uke, which has been getting some headstock lacquer, came without a bridge. I have a couple of preshaped uke bridges which I’ve drilled out to take bridge pins (very “not uke”).
I stripped away the lacquer with Stryp-Eze after positioning the bridge with masking tape.
Scraping and chiseling left a glue-able surface. Since this bridge will use bridge pins, I drilled two screw holes through each outside pin hole, glued up and screwed down. These screws are for clamping only, and will be removed after the glue dries.
