’52 LG1 Bridge issue
Had to replace the bridge, new one was modeled to the original specs, however the footprint is a little forward and showing some bare wood. I don’t really want to pay for another rosewood bridge. After regluing the bridge, I was thinking of a shellac fill and trying to do some like very light color work to blend around the bridge wings.
Interested in how y’all would approach such an issue.

This is one of the reasons I almost always make my own bridges. It’s just hard to do it any other way and have it line up. Also, I’m a firm believer in cutting that saddle slot after the bridge is on.
As for how it is now, very difficult to improve. A little shellac might help, but it’s probably best just to leave it, or go hard and make a new bridge etc.
