Archtop guitars have a 'floating' bridge. The bridge isn't glued and is only held in place by the tension of the strings.

The base of the bridge sometimes needs to be shaped to better fit the top of the guitar. This can be done with sandpaper or a file.

The saddle piece should be slotted to fit the strings. The best tool for this is Nut Files however other tools like saws and files can be utilised.
