I am not a guitar builder, but I am a tinkerer. I'm in the process of making a wooden (wenge) pickguard for an acoustic archtop. (1st pic below) I plan to use the system with the little block that screws into the side of the neck. (like the 2nd pic) What I need to know is, what is a good glue to strongly attach the little block to the back of the guard? I don't have any fancy instrument building glues. Superglue, Gorilla, Elmer's, epoxy? Thanx all.

I just made a new pickguard for a friend's Andersen and glued my little mounting block on with medium CA. I didn't want to notch the original p/g to mount a pickup in case my friend wants to go back so I made him a new one.
The Anderson had a wide enough neck block that I could screw the pickguard down into it rather than into the side of the neck (that was how the original p/g was done so I just followed)
