<p>That's one way to do it. But it actually shows that a bridge is always possible to be successfully removed, no matter what glue is used :-)</p>

<p>Hi, this reply is not neck-related but is epoxy related.</p>
<p>Here are a couple of photos of two bridges, a new one and one that was epoxied on by someone. Also, note the tools used to remove the original. </p>

<p>Yes, even epoxy has a place when doing restorations. Mostly for non glued damages like this one, or when modern glue is used in new guitars. I regularly use epoxy to glue the bridge on plywood tops, there is a ton of modern glue in the top anyway. As hard as epoxy can be to get loose, it's actually not an unsolvable project with a bridge with a glue seam that you can attack from all sides with sharp spatulas.</p>
