I have a relatively inexpensive Lanaiki S_T . you can see the problem from the picture. I know the best way to repair would be to replace the bridge, which I don't feel qualified to do myself. If this were a more expensive instrument , I would pay to do it. I could glue a new bridge on, but I feel I would mess it up getting the old one off myself. I had a KoAloha with a string through bridge, and thought I might sand the tie part down smooth and just drill holes for the strings, which I feel comfortable doing. Anyone see a problem with doing that. I don't plan on selling so I'm not concerned about resale.I took a look inside and it appears there is bracing running across this area in an x pattern. Thanks in advance.
