fixing my guitar?[views:1995][posts:11]__________________________________ [Jan 13,2008 5:05pm - dertoxia ""] so apparently i got drunk and smacked my guitar into something. i say apparently because i have no memory of doing this. but anyway, theres a nice chip about the size of a quarter right down to the raw wood. Whats the best way to fix it? should i just paint over it? wood putty? what kind of paint? should i have a professional do it? i just dont want wetness to get in there and completely fuck the whole finish up. I can post pics if you guys want to see. I know theres some guitar experts on here. |
