I say refinish it. Along the lines of what Mike said, it's not like it came naturally, it's a finish flaw. You've got the know how, do it rite.

i think i read somewhere about drop-filling. never tried it though. i think the idea is to just drop big blobs on scratches, dings, or dents and then wetsand them smooth.
might work better than spraying if your can is nearly empty.

see the difference? It sort of eases in with the matching headstock now. That was actually a 51 neck that I reshaped the profile somewhat on. I really love it more than the real telecaster neck that I have.

You know what?
In your position I really wouldn't go around dissing other people's work, considering NoHo has a pretty appalling record in the business you've done with people on these boards.
