It's always interesting to see what solution the average person will come up with to solve a problem.

I bet that guitar is great for playing heavy metal :mrgreen:

...no really. Put a pickup in it, crank up the distortion, and you don't even have to worry about feedback :lol:

One way to couple the top and back. I hope that's hide glue.

What i'd like to know - Did it work?
The bridge doctor seems like a "last resort" fix for a too weak top and bracing combination, but some people swear by it and build guitars which use it as original equipment.
Sometimes these "Bubba braces" actually do work, although they make us grin (or grimace if it's a nice instrument) a bit when we find them.
