Well, if your guitar was just pure wood without any finish and paint it'll be easy. Just use wood filler and sand it flush. But then again I doubt your guitar is just a chunk of wood so unless you wanna strip the finish and paint, repair the chip and then refinish the paint, I'd suggest you just live with it :wink:

damn. i dont wish to live with it. is it ok if i fill the broken part with wood fill? the chip is kinda big... had to colour it in black it to make it unnoticable.

thanks anyway mero.

it'll still be a different color/texture compared to the rest of the body. IMO not much difference considering you'll still have to color in that area if you fill it without finishing. If you have $$$ to fork out you might wanna bring it to one of the local guitar repair shops (e.g. GC or local luthier Malcom/Empty71) and get a quote.
