This quater for shop class i'm going to be building a simple neck thru explorer (electric). In the past i've used a bunch of different kinds of glue, some good and some bad. I'm still undecided and don't want this thing to fall apart at the seams so i need some outside input. What kinds of glue do you guys swear by?(types and brands). On a side note the neck is either going to be all sapele or all paduck laminated together with 2 pieces sitting on top of each other. andrew |

Not being an electric builder I may not be the right one to answer this but I would think you would want a reversible bond in case of future repair so I would think Hot Hide Glue first, Fish Glue and even Titebond original will work fine. |

Titebond is good...but even elmers wood glue will work. The main thing is to get good glue joints. |

You do not need a reversible bond. On a neck through the most permanent bond is desirable. Hide glue is difficult to work with until you have a bunch of practice and has no advantages for this application. Titebond (Original, not II or III) will work fine and is easy to work with. You might also consider urea-formadehyde glue (Weldwood Plastic Resin Glue is an easy to find brand). It comes as a powder that you mix with water; it has the advantage of greater permanence and zero creep. Good jointing and clamping are important; get the help of your teacher. |
