I was a bit stressed about masking the bridge, mainly about tearing the grain out when removing the waste tape.
But, with another great tip from the master it was a doddle. Just a drop of white spirit on a very fine brush following the tapes release line!

It's finished and strung up with Newtone Heritage series 11-47's, they may be a tad light for it so I'll try a set of 11-52 Master Class next!
