3 drywall screws and a pair of 8mm bolts. Ought to hold! I wonder if the bolts go through that back as well. You know, to help with excessive bridge rotation due to extra light bracing.

YE GODS.

That guitar is really screwed.

Not enough break angle, needs string ramps and a neck reset.

Yup!

Looks OK but I like to use a washer on mine.

I would have used M10 bolts - in case the player wants to go up a string gauge.

One of the few times where you finish a job, give it a few tugs and say “that’s not going anywhere” and you actually mean it!

Make sure to use fender washers on the bottom.

Would have gotten better tone with brass bolts.

It's not every day you get to use a torque wrench to repair a guitar.

Inch Lbs Or Ft Lbs

The only issue is that sometimes these can seize up and even a cheater bar doesn’t always do the trick. In these cases I find heating them to cherry with a propane torch helps. As a bonus this will also convert your soundboard to torrefied and bring out the crisp highs.
