Hotrod Your Guitar - Lower the Action

Step 2 Take it to the Bridge

Here I am whittling notches in the bridge. I could have sanded down the bottom of the bridge instead, but the manufacturer made a mistake and the strings are too close together. I'm cutting new notches. When I'm done the array of strings will be 2" wide at the bridge.

The second photo shows the bridge after some wittling then playing then whittling...

The heavier strings usually need to be a little higher than the thin ones.
