I have not plucked up the courage to try the jigsaw myself, I think it was Terry who suggested mounting a jigsaw blade in a handle in a previous thread and I have adopted this method, slower but I didn't quite trust myself with the jigsaw

I may have to use some unslotted bridge pins and was wondering how to cut the slots in the bridge/guitar top to receive the strings. Does the slot go all the way through the top as well? Are the slots cut to match string width...what do you use for that? It would seem that the string ball-end would want to pull up through the slots if they were not perfectly fit. Thanks, Greg |

Thanks Bob...I think! HOLY COW! that's going to scare the crap out of me, and I've used a jigsaw a LOT. I do own a wonderful Bosch jigsaw so I'm going to go for it...SLOWLY!! |

I thought it was a little scary looking too when I first heard this Greg, but I tryed it on my last set up and it's the cat's meow. Just go slow, like you mention. |
