Those are some really deep gouges that needed be filled. You just didn't look it over well before painting. I use a light with a bare bulb to view. you can fill them now with automotive spot putty (red) and then spot prime with light gray or white primer. Use multiple coats of primer and wet sand between coats until it is perfect, then color coat. Build your finish and correct the imperfections with your cheap primer and save the good stuff for the color and clear coats. ...or don't bother. It's an old guitar and it's close enough!

Bought my son the hardtail version for his birthday last year, it's great. The one he has is really loud acoustically and sounds great plugged into my rubbish practice amp. HNGD (o)(o) :thu:
