Looks like a cool guitar.
Option C: Fill the dings, order some cans of nitro and try finishing it yourself.
That’s what I’d do. In fact I’m sitting at home right now waiting for some cans to be delivered. It’s easier than most people think, although you do need to be really methodical, and very careful about things like humidity, temperature, face-masks and ventilation.

Would I be absolutely bonkers to get the incredible man in Wales who refinished my PRS to refinish it or should I just leave it be?
No! Send it to Rich!
Bound guitars look great painted - (any of the surf colours ftw). Is it normal for those not to have a bolt on neck?

I'd be tempted to leave it as is. Looks decent & it's nice having a guitar that's been bashed about a bit, means you don't feel sad when you add another scrape!

Half of me says do a number on it and go cherry sunburst a la Les Paul and the other half says leave it exactly the way it is... It's very handsome, I'd probably leave it and build it up with some nicer parts with the money you've saved...

So I've had this Telecaster for years and years... It's a Squier Master Series Thinline HH.
As an uncouth youth I did a bad job of spraying a Goldtop finish on it and I've just removed it with a bit of thinners and some elbow grease.
I also loaned it to a friend for a while and it suffered a few bangs and knocks during that time which have left it with a few chips and dings around the back and sides...
Would I be absolutely bonkers to get the incredible man in Wales who refinished my PRS to refinish it or should I just leave it be?
On one hand how many set neck, thinline Telecasters are there out there but on the other hand it is a lowly Squier and the refinish is going to cost a fair chunk of the value of the guitar...
Thoughts?
