That is the sad thing about it - it really isn't that terrible a job to cover up the mess. I don't think it would hurt the value to cover it up,plug the pot hole and refin it as the value is so wrecked by what they did. The price is rediculous because of that. It would look nice in pelham blue, or gold, or pink. White? Black?
I guess at least the headstock isn't broken. As far as anyone knows.
