JLD Bridge Doctor - Yofuri - 23:13 12-11-05

I have a 1970 Kawai dreadnaught acoustic that's in fine shape except for
a belly in the soundboard below the bridge that makes it impossible to
set up.

Has anyone used StewMac's JLD Bridge Doctor? Comments?

I've made and installed a few of these flying brace systems. I didn't find
that they lowered the bridge very much, though I can envisage that they
could prevent further lifting. I split one bridge trying to crank it down
with the adjusting screw.

They might also affect tone, and you might or might not like the change if
there is one.

Time to use it for slide or have the bridge reworked maybe?

Breedloves uses them in their guitars. They say it improves the sound they
might have some info on their sight.
