If it is shallow, it can be wet sanded and buffed out. Deeper rash will require drop fillng with lacquer.

depends which model/year guitar to be certain which finish is on it.

Depends on the wood strength underneath.

Depends on the age of the finish.

Depends upon the shape, length, location depth and profile of the scratches.

In short, your question lacks 99% of the information required to give you a helpful answer.

It's a 2012 guitar and everything is in great condition apart from the buckle rash. It is around 2 inches in size. Some of the mark is shallow whilst other parts of it are deeper and slightly speckled effect. Its on the ventre of the rear. Do you know how I can upload a picture?
