I have used Titebond in the past and epoxy now, both work fine. I have thought of using fish as Steve suggests but have not yet tried it.

I've gone back to fish glue, after a few too visible glue lines with epoxy. Mostly perator error, I'm sure, but my results with hide glue are better, so...

Titebond for everything except coco .. then its epoxy .. I also glue my FBs on pretty hefty neck blanks, I dont get any warping when using it as some say they do. Plus, I level/radius the FB after its glued on the neck, neck rough shaped, and bolted to the body.

I use thick super glue for the fret board to the neck, and tightbond original for the fretboard to the body . its a ich removing a fingerboard, but it will never creep, even if left in a high temp situation ..jody
