I have a bit of a problem. I crossed the wrong woman, and I and my guitar have felt her wrath. I'll just show you the gory pictures.
The scratches, or gouges really, are on the carved flamed maple top of my Les Paul. They are all less than 1/8" deep, and I've kept dirt and moisture out the best I can by covering them with masking tape. Because its a flame top with a satin finish, the option to just fill them in and clear coat is off the table. And I would like to keep it a trans finish, rather than just cover it with an opaque paint job. I think it would need to be sanded down before refinishing it, and this is certainly not something I would want to take on myself.
So does anyone here know where I could send my guitar to have them do a complete repair and refinish of the top? Money is no issue other than I'd like to keep it within the continental US, to keep shipping costs down. This guitar is priceless to me, and i can't even stand to look at it anymore, so having it fixed would be a huge relief to me. I appreciate any help guys.
