Title: Bridge Lift On Lj05-12
Post by: charlies3 on June 18, 2003, 12:43:56 PM
My son's LJ05-12 is starting to show the slightest amount of bridge lift (i.e. I can slide a piece of paper about 1/16" under the bottom).   Is this enough of a problem to send it in for warranty repair?

Any time you see some sort of brigde lift it can be a problem,go to the dealer you got it from and have it checked out,it shouldn't cost you any thing

Probably it could be handled by a qualified luthier fairly quickly. He would remove the bridge completely and reglue and clamp. You could probably have it as good as new the next day.

Regluing a bridge isn't really a big deal.

BTW: The thought of a LJ 12-string is the kind of thing that wakes me up at night! I sure wish Larrivee would think of running some off again! This has to be the best of the best - particularly in Mahogany.

You're right.   That LJ-12 is a thing of beauty.    It is also the guitar that sounds the best when I record.   Really full sounding.
