The neck on this old Washburn mandolin was coming loose from the body so the two were separated and the fit will be tightened and re-glued.  I'm guessing this is around 100 years old - the finish has an awesome patina.

Here's a bridge that should be fairly easy to remove.  Just need to break the remaining bond, clean, fit and re-glue.  I was told that some superglue was used at one point so it should be interesting once the bridge is pulled.
