Very nice, enjoy it. I think I would leave it alone, it gives it character. If you start messing with it you might make it more noticeable.

leave it if you tried to fix it you could make it worse. Besides now you wont be afraid to take it out of the house and gig with it.


by the way what model is it i am assuming its a 60s era reissue

+1 That is the best looking "Road Worn" I've ever seen and you managed to get a discount rather than pay an up-charge.

Hi Chris

If I were you, I'd hide most of that damage with a sticker.
Go to http://www.zazzle.com/rad+stickers?pg=2
Check out the stickers.
A sheet of 6 large 3 inch stickers is less than $6.
How about an "Evil Skull Sticker"?
It looks like you might need a couple of Skulls, which are my favorite of these Stickers, and would look good on your white guitar.

Image

If Skulls aren't your thing how about one of these Stickers:

Blue Tribal Sticker (The red line isn't on the sticker, it's only the round image).

Image

Abstract Tribal Sticker

Image

R4DS Sticker

Image

Then some day when you have some cash and you are up for a change, pick up a new body like the one I just got on Ebay for $150, and use all of your parts and make yourself a new Tele. Have fun!!

Thanks guys, for the great recommendations, I have a sprayer friend who will sort out the guitar with a respray, as the ding is surronded by 'blown' paint which wont stay there for long. So best to get it sorted out.
