    I attempted it, it did not go well. Headed to guitar center for them to help and so I can go up a size.

    Honestly, I was searching for anything. Paper did not do it and everything became very unbalanced!

    Maybe it wasnt enough paper to hold the bridge in place, that sucks...if you try next time see if it works with a credit card, or theres a company that makes a plastic thing that holds the bridge in place you can find it on amazon im sure but I cant remember the name right now :confused:
    Dont be affraid to try and do it yourself next time is trial and error like everything, first time that I tried to do something with it my bridge was literally inside the guitar body :ROFLMAO: it took me maybe an hour to get everything in place again and in tuning, so I just watch a few more tuturial videos on youtube and worked it out never had problems again when I need to change strings or even change tunings! Im not an expert anyway maybe Ive just been lucky!

    I certainly will do it on my own next time, thanks for sharing all of those words. Next time I'll record it so if I fail I can at least learn and have a funny compilation up!
