Hello!I am building greek instruments like bouzouki...their bridge is not glued but movable...it is an archtop instrument so i would like to know if there is a simple -fase way or a jig to make the bridge fit absolutly to the top with no gaps...?here is a sample of the instruments :( :(

I find it hard to believe that a bridge with wings that long and thin is just loose, Would it not just buzz when played?
Anyway, perhaps this may be of some use

no it doesnt buzz at al...Collin i am doing it this way right now but it is very hard at time effort to make it correct i was hoping for a jig maybe like the one stewmac sells if it possible to use it for this type of job i am willing to pay for it...but the mandoline bridge do have holes on it but the bouzouki one doesnt...:(
