Inspect the ding closely to make sure the impact didn’t crack the wood. If so, see “Crack Repair.” Taylor Factory Service Centers and UV finish-equipped service centers can to touch-up dings and, in many cases, make them disappear completely. It’s important to note that a ding or a finish chip-out won’t affect the guitar’s sound, playability or humidification and repair is generally not something required for the performance of your guitar. If you decide to have a ding repaired, please be prepared to e-mail a picture to us in order to receive the most accurate estimate.
