Looking for info on 60's Hoboken Guild - Glue
Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2024 10:17 am
I have a 1966 Guild F20 in for a restoration. Bridge re-glue, replace truss rod, and neck reset. The X-Brace is loose as well. I've removed the bridge, FB and reset the neck and I can tell that it was done using Hide glue. However; when I look inside at the braces I'd swear in one spot I see squeeze out that looks like white glue.
Can anyone with experience confirm this? I can see evidence via squeeze out that the linings and head block were glued in place with hide glue as well so it just doesn't seem to make sense that they would use white glue for the braces and hide everywhere else but I cannot deny what I see either, thought it's just a couple of little blobs of squeeze out which makes me wonder if it was improperly repaired at some point.
Best regards.
