Buddy,
Advice deleted - didn't read Buddy's post well enough - I assumed he was working with a mica finished guitar until I posted and reread his post. Sorry 'bout that.

| A quick Google search for "remove super glue" found that acetone or fingernail polish remover are the accepted solvents. |

It is going to be very difficult to remove the super glue from a lacquered wood neck without removing finish. If the fretboard can be removed you might be able to scrap it off by putting a piece of Scotch tape on each end of a single edge razor blade leaving the center part of the blade exposed and scrape with the blade held vertically. The tape keeps the blade the thickness of the tape away from the finish.

I think Ole Jerry knows all the tricks.  I've learned a lot via E-mails and just reading his post. |

I receive regular shop tips from a wood working magazine that I used to subscribe to. A recent one was regarding using super glue as a polish when making small turned objects, pens for example. The technique used VERY fine sand paper and/or steel wool to bring the glue level and then to a shine.
I mention this because of the danger of affecting the rest of your finish using solvents. It seems possible that, by working slowly and gently, you could merge the glue in so it becomes part of the finish in effect.
Just a thought and a possible alternative approach to the problem.
Regards, Allan.....
