Hello, I know I've been very quiet lately (busy, but still practicing away!).
Today, I opened my guitar case with the intentions of changing the strings on my guitar, and even though I'm always very, very careful with my guitar: *whack* against the corner of a wall. I hit the bottom part where your guitar rests on your thigh, right near the front. I have a Jackson SL-1 soloist with a Nebulah finish - this guitar is my absolute baby. I wouldn't be so upset, but I can see the wood. The wood only shows in two very small spots (about 1 or 2 mm wide), but the paint is obviously ruined in the surrounding area (probably about a 3/4 cm wide dent).
I know, I know - guitars are going to get scratched, but I'm very picky about this kind of stuff. I can deal with a few minor scratches, but this is an eye sore to me.
How do I fix this? I've tried looking online, but the information available is very limited. The scratch isn't near any of the fancy paintwork. If I take it to my guitar shop, will they be able to fix it for me?
And no, I did not change the strings. I looked at the scratch for about 5 minutes, put my guitar away, and then came on here to try and find a solution.
Thanks.
