It's Big Table Time and I have a project that I have been needing to do for a while - to replace the bridge on my Gretsch White Falcon. Enjoy!
Update: after a couple days I must say that this guitar is now perfect. I cannot imagine better action and playability for a hollowbody. Really a treat to play now!

    >SIGH!< Design by committee… Intentional defects in an otherwise excellent guitar. Sorry, Fran.

    You must have pretty good grip strength, I've used that kind of shear type bolt cutters before and it was pretty tough even for a small screw.

    Excellent video Fran, although I was hoping to hear you play it at the end!

    Cool guitar and cool to watch you working on it, Fran. I'll take all you got of that! I hope you'll give us a little playing demo when the final tweaks are done.❤

    Hmmm….what did you use to “file” the saddles ? Do you have a set of Nut Files ?

    Are those jeweled control knobs originals?

    I've got a Gretsch (not a White Falcon)… I was putting off doing mind, but I might do that now!

    Just when I thought Fran couldn’t be any cooler!

    It's Malcolm Young's stolen Gretsch White Falcon…..the one used on the Back in Black album.
