Glue clamps for guitars
Building or repairing a guitar requires craftsmanship—and the right tools. Guitar clamps are specially designed to securely and firmly hold delicate parts like the neck, bridge, or body without causing damage. These clamps are indispensable for any guitar builder or guitar repairer.
Why use special clamps for guitars?
A guitar is a delicate instrument with thin wood and delicate joints. Standard clamps are often too coarse and can cause damage. Guitar clamps are designed with softer jaws, a refined grip, and precise pressure distribution. They ensure that glue joints seal securely without warping or breaking the wood.
Whether you are reattaching a loose bridge or resetting a neck, these clamps allow you to work safely and professionally.
Types of Clamps for Guitar Building and Repair
Depending on the type of job, there are different types of guitar clamps available:
-
Deep-gripping clamps : ideal for clamping in the middle of the sound box, for example when repairing bridges.
-
Tension strap clamps with corner pieces : perfect for accurately assembling a sound box.
-
Special neck clamps : designed to firmly secure the guitar neck during repairs or gluing.
-
Soft rubber jaws : protect the paintwork from pressure or sliding marks.
Many of these clamps have been developed in collaboration with experienced guitar builders, with an eye for detail and safety.
What to look for when purchasing guitar clamps?
When working on guitars, you want absolute control and protection. So, pay attention to:
- Precision of pressure distribution
- Protection of the wood and paintwork
- Accessibility for hard-to-reach places

Always choose clamps specifically designed for guitar building – they not only save you time but also prevent costly damage.
