Good luck and remember to 'measure twice and glue once.' You don't really get a second chance with that repair. If you're not completely comfortable, I'd suggest taking it to a professional. There's a reason why we charge for that repair - it's not always as easy as it seems. We’d recommend Titebond or another carpenter/wood glue (or hide glue) instead of white glue.

Do I just use plain old white wood glue for the repair? I am going to attempt to repair a Guild acoustic that has a cracked headstock with plenty of lateral surface.
