Anybody ever have this happen? This guitar never leaves my home and stays in it's hanger on the wall. Last night I noticed the area under the bridge was kind of bubbled, and then this morning I looked at the guitar and said, "Wow, my B string broke!" as I saw it was hanging loose. Then I looked down and saw the entire bridge was lifted up and hanging by a very thin hinge on the string side. This was a limited production run on the U681T's. Just curious if anyone else has seen this happen. I've got a call into John Budny.

Mine's OK. That's a real killer. But don't worry - John and the guys will make it better than new.

That's because early in it's life it underwent vigorous conditioning exercises with Hawsers.


Lenny, sorry to it... I can't recall a bridge lifting on ANY Adamas. Where you been hiding? ... Though, living near me, I can understand you offering a well considered answer...

I recall a couple of 2080's having brace trouble, but not bridges.

I had brace trouble too on the first one I had. The factory repaired it to new standards.

Hopefully the bridges and braces are popping off in sequential order. Mine was one of the last ones built.

Ask for 934 adhesive under the bridge.

My baby is in the hands of U.P.S. and headed back to momma. Hey Jeff, are you the same dude I came out to see on the other side of the mountain, like Front Royal or something? You have some awesome guitars, man.

Wow, are we having an outbreak of bridge collapses here???

My $100 beater Matrix bridge is still hanging in there, although I don't play it much anymore. I'm still scared to touch it!
