                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I agree with letting it go, gives character, However if you are like me things like that bother me. If the dings are small or even gouged, here is a patch. get either fingernail polish or auto touch up paint the same colors you need to match your guitar. use a toothpick or similar small device to dip into the paint and allow just a drop to fall into the dent, do not try to brush it on or flatten or even touch the drop, it will flatten out by its self. you may need to apply several layers to fill the dent. Be very patient, let each application dry and inspect your work, if all goes well it will be hard to see the repair, at least it will not be noticable from 5 to 10 feet away or closer. Getting the right colors may be a problem, may have to take your guitar with you. Painting a whole guitar will be a lot of work and if you can't use the right environment it could be a disaster.]]></content:encoded>
