I recently dropped my acoustic/electric Ovation-style Guitar and it chipped the finish at the base of the body. It was in a gig bag and it only fell about a foot to the ground in a parking lot but that was enough to do it I guess. The guitar has a photo finish, at least that's what I've been told. The finish (which looks like a thin plastic coat or sticker?) has chiped away around the place where the guitar hit the ground. I wouldn't care if te surface underneath wasn't white, but you can really see it and it's right were my strumming arm rests while playing so I'm worrued it will get worse. Does anyone know what to do or how much that kind of repair would cost me. Here's a pic to help with description

This is what the listing said when I baught it on ebay
It has a ceramic under saddle piezo electric bridge pickup and passive tone and volume controls. The guitar is finished with a beautiful Emerald Green quilt top laminate. The back and sides are constructed of an ABS plastic roundback or bowl design.

True, but sometimes it's cheaper to get a whole new neck, or a used one in good shape, than do a re-fret.

Yep! That's it. About $500AUD for the fret job. Did get a couple of cheaper quotes but not from anybody I'd entrust my faithful and much loved Fernandes to. Got the new neck, complete for $260AUD. I'm told it's from the same factory that originally built the Fernandes guitars of that era. No real way of telling but the guy who sold it to me has a very good reputation as a guitar tech/Luthier here in Australia, so it's taken on trust. Don't ask me to pronounce the factory name .........
