Ebony Satin touch up

[Gradey]

I believe my 2001 SG Classic is ebony satin. Any way to touch it up? Has scratches

and worn thin on the edges when going in and out of the case.

those have a pretty thin finish, and I think are designed to look "aged" rather quickly. it's nitro, so you could get a lacquer touch up pen from Stew-mac, but it would dry shiny.

Thanks. I will just leave it as is for now. The guitar almost looks black from a distance.

Leave it be, man. Those marks give it character.

I have the same thing happening to my Studio that is 24 years old and

at first I was going to tough it up. After thinking about it awhile I decided

to leave it because the touch up will cover it up and look good at a distance

but up close they usually don't look to good. Now I just tell everybody it's

from years on the road. I don't tell them the on the road part was working with

my dad in our dusiness and playing in the hotel at night. LOL Another

thing is i don't worry so much about scratches now.

The Gibson hard case is at best ratty, tattered and torn and I like it. I agree

the guitar should stay looking it's age.
