So, like a complete dummy I picked up my amp, at my local store after it had some wiring issues sorted out. Anyhow I picked up a brand spanking new Fender parlour guitar, and well I ended up walking out with it after hastily handing over the cash.
So placing both amp, and acoustic in the boot of my car. Unfortunately like the moron I am, I forgot to lie the amp down before my journey home :oops: .
And so upon my arrival home the amp was laid on top of the guitar :x . What I'm left with is a 2 inch scratch, and one very small ding on the lower part, top of the body. I could probably live with it, as it hasn't caused any major damage.
My question is, is there any way I can reduce the appearance of the scratches, or should I seek out a pro? The guitar only cost me £129.00, but I don't want spend an arm and leg doing so. Thanks in advance.

American translation: the trunk of his car. Not sure either word is really suitable, now I'm picturing an elephant wearing boots.

LOL! I think I might as well have been wearing elephant boots, for as much good I did to the guitar :lol:

Check out ebay for guitar scratch fixer. I just bought some and if it works as good as the video it will be a miracle product. the guy has nothing but positive reviews on this stuff. If your scratch isn't too deep might work for you. I'll let you know after I try it. :)
