I know that all guitarists who are real men, Manowar style, are filled with joy at the prospect of picking up "battle scars" on their trusty "axes"......
Personally I find it a bit annoying, especially when it's one ding on an otherwise pristine guitar, or when it's a chip in a prominent place like the corner of the headstock. I like to patch it up if I can.
I have used superglue for finish repairs in the past; it can give good results but is tough to work with because it's so very runny, fast-drying and sets very, very hard. Not easy to level once it's set, and very difficult to fix when you screw things up. There must be something a bit easier to work with.
So, can anyone recommend a good clear lacquer for touching up chips and scratches? I'm thinking poly mainly, I already know a couple of places which sell nitro lacquer.
