My brother dropped my sg on its head and a bit chipped off on purpose. So i tried super glueing the piece back but it dried instantly and now theres super glue on the epiphone sign and all. How can i get rid of the super glue and anyone suggestions for how i can get the piece back on the head?

Thanks

I wouldn't be too bothered about stuff like this, as long as the functionality of the guitar isn't affected then you could do more harm than good trying to fix this. Remember, you play the guitar, not the paint.

Anyways presuming you want to go ahead with this, you'll be glad to know super glue when sanded and polished can have the same appearance as the surrounding clear coat if done right. You'll want to get some really fine sandpaper and gently sand it down to the same level as the surrounding clear coat, then finish with some polishing compound which will get rid of scratches and polish which will make it shine. If done right you wont notice it at all.

As for fixing the chip, glue it in place and if there is any exposed wood use a marker to colour it as close to the original colour as possible. Then glue around the break with super-glue making sure to cover the coloured exposed wood. Repeat the same sanding/polishing process above and the glue should be smooth and shiny like the rest of the clearcoat and the break will be seamless.

If this is something you haven't done before and you don't have anything to practice this on then don't do it. You stand a high chance of damaging even more paint with the sandpaper if you arent careful.
