Someday, when I have some 'extra' time, I plan on building an electric guitar.   Ubetcha Username: Ubetcha Registered: 7-2006 Posted on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - 6:29 pm:    I'll only mention one thing which some might not know of. JB-Weld. No, I wouldn't glue a Martin's neck back on with it, but for many small jobs & especially with metal parts, JB-Weld is unmatched. It's a 2-part epoxy that can be machined,drilled & tapped etc. once dry. I once used it to fix a cracked engine block in Alaska, and then drove the truck all the way back to Calif. Try that with Elmers!
