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 Its true, you will have many dings in that guitar before you’re through with it.

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.
