If that was one of the new 'aged' Martins, you'd have to pay extra for those - - -

Sorry to hear that, Hurricane Bob, but your guitar looks none the worse for it with the new white dents. They just sort of fit the whole aesthetic of being played and carefully worn. I would do nothing that could make it worse. Battle scars. Show them if you have got them.

I would buy one of the PacSafe cables or luggage straps and lash it around the neck end of the guitar case.

Guitar cases. Ceiling fans. Stands. Dogs and cats. Children. And irate neglected girlfriends or wives...the most dangerous of them all.

It's not too late for this new year's resolution: whenever picking a case up by the handle, extend at least one finger over the lid of the case. ALWAYS.

I actually did that but my finger slipped, and yes its the L-00
