Well, not the sides, but the edge where the hole for the bridge is coming through. I've thought about taking some sanding paper and fixing it myself, but that probably means the sell on value goes down, though with this problem there's not much of a sell on value either. The bridge has been changed anyway so yeah I guess if you ever want to sell it even if the price doesn't go down you'll wait for someone who appreciate the changes. A known Fender mod. (forgot which artist started it) is to sand that entire spring area (its called trem. cavity?) like this; http://www.tdpri.com/forum/attachments/oth...-photo-copy-jpg Its sanded so the wood of the guitar could further breath and dry as years pass since its not covered with paint anymore, now you have a better reason to sand+who knows maybe a few years later the resale value might go up |

yes it would devalue it by sanding or chiseling(is what I did).When I modify a guitar it is because I want to keep it and will do everything to make it more playable for me,even to the extent of cutting off the horn so I could have better neck access(which I did), my question would be(hope this doesn't sound rude) now if you are not going to keep it ,why do you have it ? I bought it on the cheap, hoping it would be a good guitar, as I lacked a 6 string. And while it is actually a good guitar, I've seen them being sold at twice what I paid. So I'm tempted to making a few bucks and have it go towards another guitar, trading my way up. But on the other hand, I might just keep it, cause I quite like it!

Worth considering! |
