Hi Folks,

I have been lurking around the forum for a while but have not posted before now, I apologize if I am violating protocol by not posting an introduction.

I am now the proud owner of a new D2H which now has it's very first nick in the top. Nothing major but it does go deeper than the finish. I have never owned a guitar that I did not dent or nick up sooner or later, but I guess I never owned one good enough that I worried about it too much.

My question is: since the dent goes deeper than the finish should I touch it up with anything? If so, what could I use that would be compatible with the finish? I am not too concerned about cosmetics but should I be concerned about the exposed wood?

Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Happy New Year,

Ed

Your best bet is probably to leave it alone. However, check out what the expert says at http://www.frets.com

LET IT BE. Just channel your inner Willie Nelson and play on.

Happy New Year.

Thanks Brett and Doulian, much appreciated.

I have a long way to go to catch up with Willie, in dents and otherwise.

Happy New Year to all,

Ed
