If the wood was originally stained, it needs to be stained to match before applying finish. The finish touchup can be clear lacquer or CA. With CA, an accelerator designed for finish touchup should be used. Odorless CA is less likely to turn white, since it cures a bit more slowly.

Thank you John for the informative reply. I think I’d better leave it alone and enjoy the guitar instead of cosmetically obsessing.
