Ive got a broken neck, or have I?

also, you want to be controlled with the glue - very hard to do if you are tipping the bottle over the repair - much better to use a small pipette or a cocktail stick where you have more control over the amount of glue you are using

You can get thin nozzles for use with the LV CA glues that allow good control over where it goes.

and yet i have become quite an expert at removing superglue dribbles on guitars simply because people cant use the stuff properly/carefully

a little precaution is much cheaper

The thin CA is very, very thin indeed so Wez's suggestion of using a cocktail stick. Tipping the bottle usually results in a good sploosh everywhere.

With this kind of crack though, you have just a few seconds to get the glue in before it sets. Better a bit of glue on the surrounding finish than an incomplete fill IMHO but using the wax technique and a fine tip minimises that.

a pool of superglue, or a drip on the end of a toothpick, will not dry in seconds - takes quite a while actually

The low viscosity, wicking grade stuff sets very quickly - in just a few seconds.

This type of repair needs the glue to penetrate very quickly, faster than a drop on the end of a cocktail stick will manage.
