What to do if the fiberglass tailpiece is bent

What to do if the fiberglass tailpiece is bent

You need to push the top of the bridge down if the tailpiece side of the bridge is not perpendicular to the top. I'm trying to fix up a borrowed guitar right now (LTD FX400) which has the basic Gibson style stop tailpiece. If you have to bend it, I put the tailpiece end, that screws to the mandolin, in a vise (wooden faces) to where the bend is on the tailpiece, and. The usual approach is to remove the bushings, clean up the holes, fill with a dowel and then re-drill fresh holes and put the bushing back in etc.
