Richard I went into my rec-room one morning to find the bridge on my 70's Gibson Hummingbird completely split in two. I sent it to the Gibson repair facility in Nashville TN. for an estimated repair time of 6 months. That was two and a half years ago. So you think some gunsmiths are independent SOB's well these people have been imposible.
