<p>It's amazing how many people like them.</p>
<p>If someone loves a guitar and it needs work - I do it. It's not my call if money should be spent on it or not.</p>
<p> I have no idea why someone would rate a modern bowl back but plenty do - I must be missing something.</p>
<p> Oh the luxury of a dumpster :-)</p>
<p> I think, though, Hofner would be first up against the wall come the revolution.</p>

Ha ha yea seems like this is a job we all hate.<br />
Its one of the thinner bowl backs and they've used a glue that seems like a pva with wood dust in it.<br />
Yea I know - how was it ever going to stick to plastic!<br />
Its a tenon with a bit of a sloppy dovetail too.<br />
I'll have to get some of that 'friendly plastic' - haven't played with it yet.<br />
Think I'm just going to have to use my old rubber strap clamping and some kind of holding jig.<br />

Poor devil... I don't envy you, this gig...<br />
<br />
I've pulled them together from the inside with a pockethole screw.<br />
<br />
Now, in all seriousness, I find the best way to deal with them, is for someone else to do it.

The bowl-back presents some clamping problems for sure. Have you considered using 1" nylon rachet straps or hand-made wooden clamps in conjunction with some custom-made clamping cradles secured to you bench?
