Hey guys and gals. I just got this amazing acoustic of ebay for a steal, it plays like a martin and has the softest most balanced tone ever, it's blown me away but it arrived damaged:

I know it will get damaged over time by my own hands the odd scratch and chip but for the time being I'd like to get it patched up. I'm not very clued up on acoustic finish repairs. Is there anyway of repairing this so it looks new?

    Yes - or at least very close to new - but if you're not experienced at this sort of thing it's probably best to take it to a luthier. It shouldn't actually cost much, I would expect about £25 to £50 depending on who does it.
