I accidently got a bit of super glue on the finish of my guitar...it's not very much, and it really isn't that noticable, but I was wondering if anyone would know how I could get it off without screwing up the finish. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Damn,Tough break. The only thing I know to release super glue is paint thinner and that ain't gonna help your finish. Is it a large blob or just something small?

I think you are out of luck however, you might try a small amount of dish washing detergent on a soft cloth.

rub vigorously (but not too hard) with a soft cloth

If you can't get it off, you could always just put a sticker or something over it. Or else add more super-glue and make some sort of picture with it.

Please don't put a sticker on your guitar; it's an instrument, not a bumper.

I would never put a sticker on my guitar


plus...I found a chemical that is made to break apart the super glue to make it easier to scrub off, without messing up the finish of the guitar.
