There’s some talented folks on here though, someone will probably be able to do some near-invisible mending.

not a player this one
it’s no problem
If the chip is down to the wood, you'll have to get some water colour and mix up a match for the base coat. The next step is to break out the superglue and drop fill layer by layer until the hardened super glue is standing proud. It's vital that you put on the bare minimum as big dollops of glue don't go off and will also run. Make sure that the lighting is excellent and the guitar is angled so the repair area is flat. I leave the last layer of glue overnight to fully harden. When it does harden, it's like polyester.
The next step is to mask the damaged area with a thin masking tape. Also, think very carefully about the angles and edges. break out the Stanley blade and start scraping the proud glue back to the level of the tape. You can wet the area to see how you're getting on.
The next step is to use a 1200 flatting paper and a small bowl of diluted washing liquid. VERY carefully draw they paper across the nearly flat glue. Be very careful of any edges as the pressure of the paper on edges will rapidly tear through the paint at these points.
I finish with Brasso and then polish.
Works for me anyway!
But.
One day I’ll be too old, immobilised, hospitalised or just plain dead.
Could be tomorrow.
I’d deffo play them to buggary!
You can do the same thing with nitro, it just takes a lot longer
