I've noticed a lot of people "re-glued" the neck. In case I buy this or any other guitar, what type of glue should I use?

Did not have this problem yet. Have a problem with the strings always breaking. I guess wood glue could do it.

A strap is included with the set. This particular strap style is to be tied on to the end pin and upper neck (in the hole where the tuning pins are). This is a common method of strap attachment but myself, I'd visit a local guitar store and buy a buck end-pin and a pin-oriented strap. Screw the end pin in the top of the body near the neck. It would be worth the purchase price. No need to spend a ton for a strap, but they range all the way from a few dollars to expensive. Buyers have a wide choice in strap options.

Hi! You tie the other end behind the nut under the strings on the headstock. This is the best balance. If you prefer, you can install a strap button on the heal of the guitar (it is simple to do). Just contact MDW Support with your order info and they can send one right out. But the tie method is usually the best.

There's should be a truss rod installed in the neck of the guitar. The adjusting nut for the truss rod is located at the nut of the guitar. Let us know if you have any other question. If there's a problem please also let us know so that we can address your concerns. Thank you

Hi from, Mike. The one that I bought was a round neck ?? Just like a standard guitar - Great guitar for the price - But did need to be set up to play right -

I have tried spit, gum and scotch tape; no glue, so as not to ruin the instruments. It still falls off. Not much of a pick-up. D

Yes, but I didn't use the plastics I just used it directly. I however found a different model I like better so don't use that one much. It made the guitar to high for me.

My experience was that the guitar is playable out of the box, but can be set-up even better.If yours arrives with rusty strings, when you replace them, take a very fine sandpaper and buff the frets and oil the fretboard with lemon oil. I hope this is helpful, good luck!

How long will it last? Depends how you treat any instrument. The neck is durable. The body is real wood and hollow. You drop it on concrete it will break. You treat it like its your friend and it will last a long time. It stays in tune. I might be a little uncomfortable or awkward for a beginner to play. I am a working musician. I like it for travel, and for parties because everyone brings a regular guitar and it adds a different sound to the mix. If you are a beginner maybe a regular size/shape entry level guitar in this price range. There are many. Hope this helps.

Well mine was Ok not perfect but good for the price,I had to do a little work setting it up but its the same with all guitars.I ordered mine from the UK amazon site and it came from Germany.It might be worth trying a different supplier as I guess they vary a bit from batch to batch.Overall I am please with mine and use it regularly.

...what piezo magnets? I'm not sure what you are asking, and I've repaired a half dozen Fender guitars and built several others.

I am not sure, the Brazilian Cavaquinho typically uses steel strings. You may be asking for structural trouble down the road. However it may be just fine. Essentially they seem to be the same instrument, steel strings and alt tunings seem to be the essential difference. I would try it, but I like fixing broken guitars.

I too was really concerned about the shipment of a new guitar, but when it finally came I was really suprised to find that it was EXTREAMLY well packed. It comes in two different boxes and inside the second box, the guitar was completely wrapped in bubble wrap. Although I wouldn't test this, but I'm sure you could drop it on the ground from a decent height, and it couldn't have a scratch. I've had the DR-100 slice Christmas, and I've only had to tune it like 3 times. It stays very well in tune. It's a great guitar for the price and it's well packed. You should totally guy one! Hope I helped.

We use this glue to inlay shell and other materials into guitars. We use a small bottle with a microtip applicator. You can find them online many places. First run make sure everything is where you want it be apply small spurts around. Second round...apply more but not enough to have everything floating around...third round soak well.. good luck.

Since your guitar doesn't have the dots or inlays look at the neck (where your thumb rest) and see if the dots are there, if not I would have it returned. The only guitar that doesn't have dots are classical guitars. I hope this helps.

yes, new strings will stretch. It may take a week or more of tuning before it settles down.. If it doesn't there could be an issue with the strings or the lugs slipping but Cordoba (and other guitar makers) are pretty good about checking things like that before shipping/selling... If it continues to be an issue take it to a guitar tech for a look and a lesson in restringing (you will eventually have to put new strings on the instrument)

Hi, the fret work was quite good on my neck as delivered. It did require a fret level, but I do that with all the necks I install anyway.The neck was bowed upward (back bow) so I backed off the truss rod and let it settle for a couple of weeks clamped down to a solid plank of timber. I did this only because I planned to fret level otherwise it could probably have gone on as is and the strings would have pulled the required relief.Cheers
