Can I just glue this bit of binding back on?

Gretsch baritone. It's on the end and not the side so it's just a bit annoying

Can I stick it back on with glue? What kind do I need? I have some titebond wood glue but the binding is not wood

I've used solvent based glues with neck binding, it melts the plastic (usually ABS) onto the wood and to the rest of the plastic.  If the finish is nitro then you don't want any solvents near it though so it might be better to go with a high viscosity super glue.

@Paolo_ray thanks mate it's definitely not nitro

I'd go with super glue for that. Glue it on, hold ot firmly (not with your fingers) while it dries for a couple of seconds, job done.

Definitely super glue.   Not all binding does melt with solvent based glues, so unless you have spare to test, superglue is the safest bet here.  Sometimes you need to dampen the wood side first, this can leave a white reside but it should clean off once dry

Yes, super glue but be sure to mask the surrounding area in case of drips!

Thanks all, I plan to get around to it this week
