What kind of glue ?

Just wondering what type and/or brand of wood glue any of you use when gluing up 2 or 3 piece bodies. Does anyone know what Fender uses ? Thanks in advance.

Don't know what Fender uses but Titebond or Elmers woodworking glues both work just fine.

Yep, Titebond and Elmers here also.

Titebond II here.

Thanks for the replies. It is Titebond that I have been using all along. Sometimes you just wonder what everybody else is doing. Thanks again. John

My easy answer is yellow glue. Having said that, I bought a gallon of Titebone II today for some upcoming projects.

I use the original Tightbond. That stuff is the best for all wood repairs. I hear they have a III formulation that is watersoluable like the original formula. I may try it.

Big fan of Titebond for all wood glue-ups!

I used titebond on a bass I built back in the late 70's because that's what we cabinet makers used back then. It's still in one piece and playing (I sold it years ago) but some of the glue joints have creeped a bit, which I now know is a problem with titebond and aliphatic resin glues. Years ago, when fooling around with acoustic guitars and violins, I learned how to use hot hide glue and never looked back. One thing that really sealed the deal for me was a little testing session I performed using various kinds of glue to glue little spruce 'soundboards' to listen to. While you might not be able to hear the difference between solid bodies glued up with titebond or hot hide, you sure can hear it when you edge glue soundboards! The titebond is dead sounding, the hot hide is live, ringy and clear. The only glue that sounded similar to hot hide glue was the kind of powdered formaldehyde resin glue used for plywood and laminating.

I'm with dugg - fresh hot hide glue wherever possible for strength and tone. Frank Ford loves it too; I spoke with him before he posted this to his site:

Read what else Frank has to say about hide glue; in fact poke around on his site - its fascinating. I have really enjoyed and gotten a lot out of the times I have been able to see him speak adn demo and hang out.
