Hi /diy/, first time poster here.

/mu/'s guitar general couldn't really help me so I hope this topic is appropriate for this board.

Anyway, I have a Gibson Les Paul with a chip on one of the corners of the headstock. The corner is supposed to be pointed. However, because of the chip, it appears chamfered and looks ugly up close. I don't have the broken piece anymore (bought it used for cheap)

What are some ways I can restore the headstock? I heard tinted super glue works with small surface chips but I'm not sure if it applies here.

Thanks in advance

Barnizar, rellenar y pulir?

You will have to rebuild the corner with bondo and then sand it down to shape and refinish it, or you can learn to live with it and treat it as "wear", personally I'd go with the latter as I find refinishing work to be a pain in the ass.

Go check out "Daves world of fun stuff" on YouTube, he covers a lot of this sort of stuff.
