My friend Bart recently bought a Gretsch Electromatic G5120. There was a problem with the bridge: it didn't fit to the top of the guitar properly and therefore also slid to one side after playing... I adjusted the fit of the bridge by laying sanding paper on the top, and sanded the bridge locally to a more exact fit. The now rougher bottom side of the bridge will also prevent it from sliding so easily on the lacquer of the guitar. And of course a better fit is also a better tonality! A beautiful guitar, now also (temporarily?) featuring in my rock 'n' roll band The Kings Alive .
