Sounds like an auto body add. I am interested in a custom shp guitar but it has a nasty little crease on its side. Can this be fixed or is it better to just consider it added character?

We would have to see the size of the damage to give an accurate assumption, but if it can it will all depend on the finish. If it has a Nitro finish there is a good chance you can get an invisible repair done. If it is Poly you will always see some sign of a repair. Unless of course you get the whole guitar refinished.

That's MOJO... it doesn't wipe off, there's no reason to fix it, it just makes it sound better. A previous owner left it for you now it's your job to add your own. :lol: :lol:

You going need a lot of "Bondo", and possibly a Welder. Oh and don't forget a giant grinder for the finish work :D

Ya know it does build MoJo in the guitar,, Rock on

Leave it, its a guitar not a Lamborghini. It adds to the mojo, journey and character of the instrument!
