Ironically, it would've been much easier to fix had they left it alone. I imagine to match color/finish you'd have to redo the entire back of the guitar. (top is fine btw) What would this cost? AMAZING job on the gold top above - I mean stunning. I have a recent (2004) Standard where someone made a poor attempt to fix a scratch on the back – 1/8″ layer of goop.

Could I have a price estimate also to get a gold finish added? (I'm torn on the relic look so maybe price for both?) Great website!

For checking effects we use a combination of both of those methods. We find that makes for a quite natural and random appearance. We generally like Duralaq for nitro work.
