Martin D28 Marquis Saddle
I have a Martin D28 Marquis that I need to install a pickup in for a customer. It has a glued in saddle. I am hoping to get some guidance from some of the amazing experts here.... I am concerned that the saddle in at the factory with hide glue, but am not 100% sure. I have 2 questions:
- Does anyone know what type of adhesive Martin uses to glue these things in? I have a suspicion that they use CA glue. I tried to ask Martin directly and just got stonewalled. No help at all.
- If it is CA glue, is it safe to remove using a heat lamp? I have heat shields made from cardboard/aluminum foil that I can place around it to keep heat focused on the saddle, but I am concerned with causing the bridge to release if I heat it enough to break down the CA glue.
I would appreciate any feedback you will provide.
Thanks.
