Fretboard ding on new K. Bond rhoads

> I'd have to see it for myself and look at it thru a jewelers loupe to see exactly what kind of imperfection it is to give a better assessment. If that truly is a dent,and the wood down inside it is still intact and just "packed" down,I could fix that with a small piece of t-shirt material and a soldering iron more than likely,but if it's a gouge,where the wood is gone,like if someone got fumble-fingered with the tang of a fret file,then filling the dent with either ebony dust and super glue,black super glue or black epoxy is the only way to fix it. Even then,any kind of patch/filler applied to the hole will eventually be visible or felt,because the wood is still going to move some. It's also possible that this was an imperfection that didn't surface until the board was shaped and final-sanded before fretting. If that was the case,they simply will NOT change it unless this was a USA or CS before it left the shop. I fix dents on pool cue shafts all the time,and have seen worse imperfections/damage on those,but I can see your concern. Tommy D.

It's a brand new guitar. Why should you have to "fix" it? If you don't think it's a big deal, I think that's fine. But you shouldn't have to fill it in with something. Look at it this way, chances are anything you do to "fix" it would actually decrease its value.

Seems we are making a mountain out of a mole hill here. That little ding will be long forgotten once he gets his first real honkin' paint chip on the wing tips.:ROTF:
