I used a fuckload of clamps, which didn't have enough pressure to get the planed-4-days-ago boards into shape.
Stuff that would probably have helped:- more clamps
- more glue
- a planer
@christianSpaceman : That actually sounds quite interesting. Gotta think about that and how I'd do it.

If you can't hold the joint together using only hand strength when you are dry fitting then you are asking for trouble.
Out of curiosity what plane did youuse to prep it?
Apologies for coming in and telling seasoned guitar builders stuff but this applies to the type of work I regularly do with other kinds of woodworking.
So what happened? Not enough clamps?
