My guild D-55 about 14 mos old has been taken care of and kept in pristine shape as I try to keep my guitars as im sure all do but I was sitting at my computer desk listening to my speakers playing songs and turned sideways and my guitar top caught the desk corner and put a scratch about 1" to 1 1/8th. ". The beginning was deep but not into the wood. So I am a donkeys butt.. Here is a question to get opinions..... I took it to great dealer bought it from and discussed how to repair. They said they could put super glue in and wetsand it down even with surface and would be difficult to tell but if one looks right it might show a little... But they could wetsand and fill with nitrocelluose
and it might take 3 months and be expensive, They would have to do multiple coats of nitrodelluose paint because it shrinks. As it dries. Then the final coat would go on the whole top. What say you guys???? Which might be best solution? I chose super glue after much thought. Why? Because with nitrocelluose its still a used guitar and would not bring a better price if I sold it than the super glue repair.. used is used. So I hope it looks good.. I think bit will? Comments......?
