Who can fix something like this?

Re: Who can fix something like this?

I would seal it with something, maybe some nailpolish or super glue just so it wont flake and spread over time. I have 3 Rhoads guitars and they all have chipped tips. Not much you can do about it. On one I refinished I totally rebuilt the tips. Since I have already dinged one, and I am extremely careful with my guitars! Its just the nature of the beast.

i agree with boxcar and shawn, but i can relate to what you're saying. you're about to buy a guitar, and while it may have dings, etc, you want it to look as nice as it can. nothin wrong with that. if it were a ding on the back or somethin, i'm guessing it may be a different story.

Seriously, look at how many famous guitar players had guitars that didn't look so great but sounded great!

If I was George Lynch, I wouldn't have been caught DEAD playing that atrocity of a guitar he called "Mr. Scary"! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I understand what you mean dude...it's ok to try and keep it as nice as you can, but when stuff happens you can't sweat it...as long as it ain't cracked in half its still good! My Rhoads is two different colors, but I don't care...it's the best.

First of all, it's not "beat to hell" or with "large chunks missing". It's a small/unimportant ding, that you'll probably make anyway within a year of playing it. I'll never buy a brand new guitar again (never say never) because even my excellent condition guitars take a hit over time.

Yah it's small, but it still sucks to pay good money for a kick-ass guitar only for something bad to happen to it. Like owning a Ferrari, you want it to be as flawless as possible, and do have a hard time over-looking even the most minor cosmetic imperfections.
