Hey,
I have an epiphone les paul std, there is a dent in the body of the guitar from a mic falling on it. The dent is not a scratch; it’s just like a compacted part. Its less that 1mm deep and is between the two pickups. Is there a good technique for smoothing it out or poping it up? The colour is Heritage Cherry Sunburst which makes it a polished surface.
I have heard the method where you use a damp cloth on the spot and steam it out by placing a soldering iron or clothes iron on the damp cloth and the steam will raise the dent out. but i think this can only be used on bare wood. Will his work or will it wreck the finish?
How do i kill the dent?
Matt.
