Re: Chip/Dent Repairs...?
You could use some wood filler then paint it. The back of the neck is more of an issue. I would just sand it as smooth as I could get it then paint it. Matching white paint is going to be really hard especially if it has aged. The other battle scars, well if your not to concerned about it, use wood filler then sand it smooth and refinish it with some paint.

+1 for lightly sanding the finish on the back of the neck.
Fine grade abrasive on a shaped block/holder is preferrable. Those spongy sanding blocks for keying household paint will do perfectly well. Aim to get a "satin" matt finish. Apply masking tape to the heel and the back of the headstock.
I would leave the body scars alone. Call it Relic-ing.

the neck isnt actually that bad though, still fairly smooth, its the massive chunk in the second pic that annoys me the most cause i see it every time i play the guitar :/
