Hey, you said you didn't think that Gorilla glue seeped into maple that much- The picture simply shows that it doesn't. That's all - I wasn't "preparing" my arguments. simply trying to understand and show real applications of the glue. We all agree here. I'm on your side here!
Actually, its a veneer in the front and the back. The front is lacewood and the back is birdseye maple which is a slightly different hue from the main headstock maple. All veneers were glued with Yellow glue, so no, that yellowish brown is not the poly glue. The birdseye veneer to rock maple joint could have been better, I guess but I think its fine as is, especially considering how warped it was when I got it.
The Gorilla glue was used between the darker maple and the veneered headstock. I don't see a glue line there.
For neck laminates, yes, I would use yellow glue. I only wanted to understand why Gorilla glue was to be avoided, because in my experience, it has its applications, that's all. end of story.
I think you're taking all of this a little too personal. I agree with you. I only suggested that Gorilla is better for a scarf joint because of the end grain. In the end, you do what feels right for you. I'm sure that Yellow glue would work as well.
