While fitting a new CA bridge to my old Rover RM-75 I noticed that the edge of the tailpiece was touching the face of the body. It was easy to bend up and leave about 3/16” gap.
However, when I strung it back up the pressure from the strings flexed it back down in contact with the body.
Is this a significant detriment to my sound (having never played a “good” mandolin it seems fine as is, but what do I know)?
I wouldn’t mind an upgrade with my next string change, but don’t think spending $150 on a James is wise.
Thoughts?
