Try some epoxy solutions, they are as strong as rocks.

If you haven't already, you might want to surf to
http://www.stewmac.com and look for their line of various luthier glues. They sell everything you could possibly imagine for guitar repair.
The general theory here is that you want to choose a glue that can be softened and removed easily later in case you ever have to do this again.
If you don't care about that, then I suppose any decent epoxy would work - or a good wood glue. Good luck.

Epoxy is strong but GaryB's suggestion (white carpenter's glue) is easier to work with (no 2 part crap) and also it's easier to clean off around the edges when it squishes out.
