So my hippy neighbors kid knocked over his Alvarez acoustic and the headstock snapped.It's a nice clean break and looks like an easy fix.What I need to know is....What is the best wood glue to use to make the repair?Any other tips that will make this a good strong repair?Thanks,T

Broken Neck
Let me know how you get on Tom... i was tempted to buy a PRS with a broken neck that went cheap. But i bottled out at the last moment.

yeah, titebond, i use that stuff for all my glueing,i have like regular(blue) and super(green)
the super stuff dries to a... sort of mohogany color, and the green stuff dries clear, i think.
i can't rembmer, i have been using the super stuff cuz i have been working with darker woods.
either way, just don't use gorilla glue. that stuff expands slightly.
