Is any body knows how to remove the plate to get access to the soundboard? There are "blank" bolts on the upper side of the plate. Rani Ni</blockquote> Reduce tension on the strings, remove them, and loosen and remove the bolts. I would advise you tho to get some help from somebody who really knows how to do this kind of stuff. There are plenty enough things that can  go wrong in the process of removal and replacement, some of them pretty serious depending on what you are going to do. Still, if you insist on going it alone, the boys in the band here generally do the best they can to coach you through. What are you going to do to the soundboard ? -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
