Great! I like Epidermix 372 epoxy, traditionally hide glue is used, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you've had some practice working with it before.

Clean off the finish under the bridge (the reason most bridges come loose in the first place is because they are glued to the finish) - you can mask off and use a stripper (my preference) or scrape and sand. Rough up the underside of the bridge, mask off if you haven't already, apply a thin layer of glue and clamp. Clean up glue squeeze-out once or twice over the next hour and leave overnight.

Thanks again Alan.

I've decided that its not worth my while fiddling with this job when a pro will do it for R380.
Thanks all for your input.

Good choice IMO! Hope it will breath again soon!!!

My baby's all fixed

Yep... and you were right, they glued the bridge after they had put on the finish, so it was the finish that broke away from the surface. Gary suggested that he bolt it on as well as glue, which I agreed to, and if you look carefully you can the see circles on the bridge where he made good. Nice job, I'm pleased and I don't think it's likely to pull away whilst on a gig.

Sorry, just had to with that thread title. Quiz: which guitarist wrote those great lyrics?

Well of course Jimi Hendrix performed the number on the posthumous live album of the same name, but I'm not sure that he wrote it.

Gary does some great work. His prices are reasonable and he is well located too.
