The bridge is finally glued... It seems like of all glue joints this is the one to leave clamped and resting before unclamping. How long before stringing up?

I always let them set for 24 hours. Probably don't need to.

Yep, 24 hours. It can be hard to wait if I glue it before bed and wake up 8-9 hours later :lol: But it's such a high-stress joint, and a pretty large glue area, I figure there's no sense chancing it. And if it fails, you want to be sure it wasn't just from stringing too soon, so you can study your fitting/gluing process with confidence that something needs improving.
