My next build is looking like I'm going to use Malaysian black wood for the back and sides. There has been a lot of talk about ca glue being used. Should I or could I use ca glue for the back plates or titebond, which I usually use? Thanks Blake |

Why use CA when titebond is an old and trusted glue for joining plates? What I would do is cleaning the joints with acetone before gluing, and then you can use titebond, fish glue, hide glue... |

I've built a few guitars with Malaysian Blackwood, it doesn't require any special gluing techniques. Titebond or hide glue are my choice for it, just like other species. Actually I can't think of any wood that'd require CA for joining. Good joint preparation is the key. |
