Stewmac Acoustic Bridge Tools, Complete Set

Heat out an old bridge plate:
Heat the 3-in-1 Caul to soften the glue holding the bridge plate. The caul fits over the plate, between the guitar's x-braces. Machine screws through the bridge pin holes keep it in position while the heat releases the glue. Work the bridge plate out using the Bridge Plate Chisel backed up by the Top Support Dolly. See our Acoustic Bridge Tools Instructions for details.

Install a new bridge plate:
The 3-in-1 Caul is a perfectly shaped for gluing a new bridge plate. It covers the plate with a strong, uniform pressure. Machine screws through the bridge pin holes draw the caul firmly up against plate - no clamp needed. The included hex wrench tightens the caul in place.

Glue an acoustic bridge:
The Bridge Clamping Caul evenly distributes clamping pressure across the acoustic bridge, working with one clamp or multiple clamps, like our Large Swivel Handle Clamp. The caul's shaped, padded underside conforms to the contours of most bridges. Add extra pressure at the bridge ends with the caul's built-in wing clamps. The 3-in-1 caul distributes the clamping pressure inside the guitar, and adjustable thumbwheels provide support at the ends of the bridge. Together, these cauls provide ideal contact above and below the bridge while gluing.
