Looking for info on 60's Hoboken Guild - Glue

[redir]

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, though it's just a couple of little blobs of squeeze out which makes me wonder if it was improperly repaired at some point.

So ultimately my question is, what glue did Guild use in the 1966 Hoboken factory for braces?

Best regards.

I believe that's what you're seeing, redir. But, I'm not sure anyone has that kind of information about what was going on in Hoboken in 1966... I will say that Hoboken during that period was very inventive and willing to try new things. There are many Guilds from that era that are unique and interesting.

My guess, and it's only a guess, is that they used hide glue for the braces.

@hideglue do you have your ears on? Any knowledge of that time period?
