Members GreenDay=poop Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 I ACCIDENTLY put a chip in the pain of one of my friends guitars and he's pissed so i gotta pay to get hte chip repainted or w/e. It's only like the size of a dime or maybe a little smaller. Does anyone know where he can take it to get the chip repainted or fixed and how much that should cost?ThanksMiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wtfg89 Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 If it is on a PRS... Probably a buttload. Try to be more careful when handling other peoples gear. I know if I were in your buddies shoes I would be {censored}ing furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreenDay=poop Posted January 9, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 Yea i know but i was being careful. I picked it up and put it on then the strap on the bottom fell off and i caught the neck but the bottom swung and hit teh corner of his amp. I was just standing there too, its not like i was dancing around with it! So really its not my fault since i was being careful its his freakin cheap straps fault! So yea im screwed if it cost that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wtfg89 Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 Oh yeah man for sure! Can you remember what finish it was? If it was just a basic color and not some piece of art ten top or flame/quilt than it will be abit cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trader Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 I don't know where you are from. If you lived near me, I would suggest you take it over to "The Guitar Factory" on Saturday (that's their walk in welcome day) and get an estimate. A lot of the PRS guitars use paint from DuPont and that is what will match the rest of the guitar. I'm guessing that this is going to set you back a few hundred bucks unless it is a burst or multi color job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yea im screwed if it cost that much No it's your fault. If the strap broke it's his fault for buying a cheap strap. If you didn't put the strap on correctly it's user error and therefore your fault. Pay to get it correctly repaired and consider it an costly lesson.

Members BillyCorgan Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 He needs to stop being a pansy. I like how my PRS guitars look with dings/chips. Tell him:Tone > Looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 My PRS guitars all have dings in them.If I use a guitar I cant keep them from getting dinged everyonce in a while. But I can understand your friend being piseed seeing he didnt get to put the ding there himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd apologize very sincerly and maybe offer to take your friend out for a night on the town or maybe buy him a pedal he's been wanting or something like that.But it wont be cost effective to repair a Santana SE.

Members pipedwho Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 It is funny how this thread went from: "Holy {censored} you are so screwed!" to "LOL! That {censored} is funny, your friend's guitar is a POS!" I think I actually felt a sigh of relief when we all found out it wasn't gonna cost him $1500 to replace the PRS.

Members curseoftruth Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'd have to say to bad to your friend and tell him to f-off (in a nice way). My cheapo guitars, no problem for others to play, Have at it. If I let someone play my expensive guitar and a strap thing goes bad or its bumped -- my bad for letting someone play it, especially while standing up. I would make people play the good stuff sitting down in a chair with little or no chance of a problem. Finally, you really can't get a fix of that size without a full re-fin. Isn't worth it. Tell him to read my post. EDIT!! LOL I just read all of the thread after the first 3-4 lines. A {censored}ing SE and he is {censored}ting! Buy him a burger and tell him to get over it and that you are sorry!!! Not that the SE isn't a cool guitar, but yeah, its a players guitar and the finish isn't like some bad ass high dollar thing!! Give him a mgic marker close to the color and tell him have at it. I'd be pissed if a $400 guitar got a big chip in it, but that's life. I sure wouldn't be telling a friend to pay to get it fixed. I think every guitar I have has a nice ding, chip, or scratch )or multiple combinations) in them. Even the ones I REALLY baby have some road wear. {censored} man, I gig the {censored} out of them! They get beat up. I buy guitars to play, not to look at! I'd be like, dude be more careful and you can't play it again, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted they're no US PRS but they're still pretty decent guitars. Having said that i can see the humour in this thread. I think damaging a korean santana se and damaging a US PRS are worlds apart!

Members larryguitar Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 If the color remains in the chip, and it's just the clear that's been removed, it can be repaired to a high level for very little money. AFA it being an SE PRS...we all love the BEST things we have, regardless of where they 'rank' among the hierarchy of such things. If it bothers him, he should get it fixed.

Members Pigsinzen Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 The one thing I like about having a natural finish, the dings give it character. I buy em that way, so I don't have to worry about messing up a perfect guitar. I'm clumsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fendercaster Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 larryguitar sorta echoes my sentiments. For some of us, a ding on a $400 guitar would be no big deal, but I see enough threads on here asking for advice in buying inexpensive guitars. I don't know the circumstances of the owner of the guitar, but if you're a kid and have to save up quite a while for a $400 dollar guitar, then that ding is probably a pretty major deal.
