My greatest fear is the neck or frets will move around and affect the titebond hide glue guitar 00 of the guitar. Speaker for guitar and bass Hide glue is one the oldest glues used in instrument making and repair. Joined Aug 13, Messages 1, Reaction score Cheers, David www.

All woodworkers use it. What was it like? Well, the principal function of any glue — outside of considerations of working time, adhesive strength, and materials compatibility — is simply to enable one surface to stick to another. Therefore if the glue has been appropriately selected for the task at hand and applied correctly, all glues work satisfactorily: the glued parts all adhere together for a long time without bleeding, creeping, breaking down, discoloring the woods, or otherwise failing.

For woodworkers in general, hide glue and fish glue were the only glues available for a long time. More recently, synthetic and chemical glues have been developed which are more convenient to use, give extended working time, are waterproof, etc. For the general woodworker who is not committed to using epoxies and such for specialized purposes, Titebond and the other aliphatic resin glues which are sold under a variety of names pretty much heads the list of modern favorites.

It works every time. The somewhat less convenient hide glue made from animal hides and hooves is still used by purists, craftsmen, and traditionalists. It works every time as well. On the whole they give equivalent results, but with one significant difference. This is most noticeable to repairmen and restorers — those whose work requires them to take glue joints apart, or to deal with failed joints. The difference is that of destructive vs.

What that means is that one can take a hide glue joint apart if one knows how, and if one is willing to be patient without removing of any actual wood. One cannot take a Titebonded joint apart without losing at least a little bit of the original wood: one undoes the joint and then needs to do some sanding or scraping to expose fresh wood.

But in craftsman-level guitar work, which can allow for more carefully titrated and thicknessed parts, the loss of a few thousandths of an inch of wood may make a difference in sound. In this realm, having the instrument be as fully original as possible is desirable: alterations and modifications of any kind can devalue the instrument. So, in these cases, it is preferable to find that the guitar has been held together with hide glue: the parts can be taken apart and reglued while maintaining fidelity to the original sizes, thicknesses, and specifications of the woods, not to mention the original intent and methodology of the maker.

But Titebond is a synthetic glue, not an organic one, and it has unexpected staying power. Ole'Lefty Senior Member.

If you don't go with hide or fish, then with Titebond you are using the premier AR adhesive. Tugboat Senior Member. Joined Oct 25, Messages Reaction score Many first class luthiers use Titebond including some on here. A well constructed joint is a well constructed joint. That's what's really important.

If you take one guitar, hide glue it, then can magically replace hide glue with Titebond, I highly doubt you't be able to tell any difference. There are WAY too many variables within a group of guitars by a good luthier to associate any differences in tone to the type of glue used. Hide glue just has more voodoo associated with it for cork sniffers.

I took a quick look at some custom shop marketing but didn't see it listed. I would be surprised though. If someone could post a link to other custom shop info or tours I would be appreciative.

Joined Aug 13, Messages 1, Reaction score Found it! Made a printscreen: Teun. I'm freaking out. I bought a used Gib SG from guitar center and forgot to ask for expedited shipping. It will take days to get here in hot temperatures which make the inside of a UPS truck like an oven.

My greatest fear is the neck or frets will move around and affect the playability of the guitar. Or the neck might even warp. The SG is dated Were they using Titebond 50 then? What's the melting point of that specific glue? I'm so OCD and worrisome with these kind of things. I usually do 2 day shipping in the summer so I'm beating myself over the head for forgetting to do so.
