Is there anyway to fix a chip in my acoustic, Washburn guitar?
tinklesdavis asked:
Ok so heres the story I'm new guitars and I was stupid enough to be playing with little, ball magnets when I was sitting with my guitar in my lap. (stupid right i know don't remind me)
Anyways, My only question is, is it possible to fix chips in guitars?

Sounds cosmetic. I might be tempted to leave it, you’ll ding that guitar more than once if you use it regularly. But if a good appearance matters that much, take it to a reputable repair shop and they’ll put some black on it–it might not look like new up close, but the audience won’t be able to tell.

Its true, you will have many dings in that guitar before you’re through with it. It gives it personality. It is a quick fix for a shop. It would be just like fixing a ding on a car. add some paint, some clearcoat and call it a day. You can do an acceptable job yourself. Go to your local auto repair shop, pick a paint that matches, then go to menards and use a spray poly. just spray over the spot but move quickly. very, very light coats. if you try to speed up the process, its easier to see. it might take a few coats but be patient, let it dry thoroughly and give it another.
good luck
