Regluing and Clamping A Guitar Bridge

If the structure is still strong enough, the bridge can be put back in place by cementing it. On the other hand, if the existing support teeth are no longer strong enough, re-treating the area may be recommended. A new restoration should be done or another tooth replacement might be needed.

Why do guitar makers use hide glue?
Hide glue creates a brittle joint, so a strong shock can cause a very clean break along the joint. Hide glue can function as its own clamp: Once the glue begins to gel, it pulls the joint together. Violin makers may glue the center seams of top and back plates together using a rubbed joint rather than using clamps.
