Acoustic Bridge conversion (right to left)

Here's a sweet sounding Yamaha FG730S that requires a saddle slot modification. The owner plays left handed so time to fill up the saddle slot and make a new one.


Guitar before surgery


Rosewood shim is cut out and planed to the correct thickness.




The rosewood shim is then planed, chiseled and scraped.


The prep work paid off and the bridge has a nice sheen only a properly scraped surface can give.


The new saddle position is determined and marked out with a white pencil. Routing with my bridge slotting jig and dremel tool begins.



I'm very pleased with the work as it turned out nice and clean. The owner should be as happy as me :)
