Default Repairing Willie Nelson's Trigger

It's a Martin N-20 classical guitar with a Baldwin pickup

I think liquid hide glue is one of the worst products on the market (guitar wise)

I agree. I'm less of a pro, of course, but I regretted it totally when I used it. Very unforgiving and hard to disassemble, doesn't look natural and is just awful.

Titebond liquid hide glue is truly terrible. I’ve had good experience, however, with Old Brown Glue, a liquid hide glue.

I also use and like Old Brown liquid as well as liquid fish glue. I store both at ~37 degrees and heat up a small amount when needed. I must have a bad batch of Titebond liquid (it's well over 20 yrs old), because for non-structural, non-stressed joints it works perfectly fine. Dries hard and is reversible, just like HHG.
