I was changing strings on my Guild Baritone yesterday, when I noticed that the bridge was split across the saddle slot.
This will be the second one to be sent back to Guild with Bridge issues.
The first one was due to the bridge lifting from the guitar.
The timing is bad.
I am planning on taking the guitar with me to Aspen in 2 weeks.
I contacted a local Tech that said he could try to glue the bridge and see if it will hold.
I have no choice but to try the glue first.
If it doesn't hold, and I doubt it will, I hope Guild will make it right with me.
I keep humidifiers inside the cases of my guitars so I doubt this is a humidity related issue.
The bridge appears to be brittle.
Looks like Ebony but it is died so who knows what it really is.
There is a sliver of wood missing in front of the saddle. The color of the wood there is is very light.
These baritone guitars are new to Guild and perhaps they don't have all the bugs worked out with them yet.
I hope they can make it right because I really like the guitar.
