Hey Rob, if you're doing repairs to any of the usual woods used on guitars, Titebond I works very well. I've not used their hide glue, and I'm not...
So you know more than one of the top repair guys in the country with over 30 years experience? BS [MEDIA]
Did you do any research before you attempted this? There are numerous neck repair threads here, on other forums and on YouTube. Anyway, the "U"...
Gents, if there is no finish on the back, should we suggest something he can apply?
A pic of the cavity might help. Did you try pulling the tip connector away from the jack with a pair of needle nose pliers? I'd also suspect...

I put in a 14X24 lofted shop last year. The electricians put in 4' standard T8 fluorescents. I bought a 4' LED lamp at Sam's for $37. Feels like...

+1 on the Howards Feed-n-Wax. I used the lemon oil for years, but just switched to the Feed-n-Wax. I tried it out on some mahogany end tables and...
