When I met my wife she had a Spanish guitar with a neck that was broken loose from the body. Since I had two perfectly fine specimen myself I decided to give it a go with superglue, removed the strings and glued it together. Then added the strings and put the guitar in our crewroom at work for anybody to use it. That was 12 years ago now and it is still solid as a rock. Being a technician I see what our crew wrecks on a daily basis and I do trust superglue on wood 100%!!
