I love working with HHG, and find it easier to do clean work. My confidence in it tonally is complete, which is not the case with PVA. But I don't really know. Laurelyn's guitar came out fine, but certainly not at the top of my hierarchy . . . which is as expected since I did hurry it. Perhaps in time I will have a more grounded opinion. The SBAIC guitar is almost through finish, I did not hurry it, and it should be a better gauge,

I did use HHG for her bridge, as I have had such good luck with it compared to PVA, and that IS telling.
