I do have a piece of ebony around so I'll try that first

A somewhat strange, but possibly effective fix would be to install a piece of fretwire on the top of the bridge in that area. However, this would require enough wood to slot for the tang.

Or you could buy a replacement bridge from Stewmac.com

Good luck -- Greg]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bridge-repair/#post-92248 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/bridge-repair/#post-7486 Thu, 03 Mar 2005 16:48:16 +0000 I've got a Washburn HB 15 that has a mandolin type bridge. The trouble is the bridge is damaged at the low e string and I either have to raise the action(a lot) or put up with fret buzz on that string.
Can I repair the brigde using epoxy and then filing it down or should I just replace it.
I'm a little afraid of replacing it because I don't know how to set the bridge for proper intonation but live and learn I guess.
