SG Standard USA dings & scratches

[Raiyanx Toshiaki]

Hey guys, currently my new SG has a few slight scratches and dents(1mm thick). Any recommendation to sorta restore it to it's original luster? The finish is nitrocellulose for those who don't know, so certain products will damage it instead of 'cure' it. Thanks for the help guys!

nitro is a very soft finish hence it's easier to get scratches and dings. my opinion? leave it as it is. considering the finish on the Gibson SG is thin, no point buffing it out cos the tendency of seeing wood is quite high.

if you really want to "fix" the problem, the only way is to refinish the guitar.

let's see some pictures to see if it's possible to touch up.

however we have to be realistic as no touch up can get you back the original look.
