chip

Wood filler stained red will never look good as new. This isn't like fixing a ding in the dining table

I'm sorry for your loss, but you really need to lighten up. Yes I know no one wants beat-up stuff, but it happens with guitars. There's no harm in trying to put the chips back in place and cover it up, but I strongly advise you to give up on the idea of it coming out like a Servpro ad - like it never even happened - unless you're going to put out the money or have the tools and skills yourself to do a complete strip and refinish.

Ya. Ill try to do I much as I can to fix it, but at the end of the day, its just a guitar. If this was my old soloist though, the kid would be up for adoption in no time.

+1 - you already have the color under there, you only want clear over it now. Drop the additional CA into any low-lying spots, let dry, and proceed with wetsanding/polishing -trust me...

the chip went through the clearcoat and paint to bare wood

Maybe leave it as is for now and when he's older use it as a guilt trip on him.

It's 'relic'd'. Big money. Let your kid have a 'go' at it a few more times and then you might be able to charge $2k+ on the 'bay.
