Good video. Question-if he can French polish right up to the fingerboard with the eraser, could he do the same thing with the bridge installed??

Yes.

I did this on my last classical guitar. If you have a spanish neck you will have right angle surfaces, becasue I already have to deal with the neck to side joint and the fingerboard to top I glue the bridge on before finishing. What one more edge.

I only use the easer for the odd places, mainly to lay down shellac. The rest of the guitar I use a normal muneca.
