Dent/crack on side shoulder (acoustic)

[AOR Nova]

Hello,

Been playing for just over a month, and I'd say I'm progressing rather quite well

I had 2 acoustic guitars, one old and broken, and a Prillante that played like a dying parrot. (the old guit > http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...68#post5222468) They're both sold now.

I went searching for a better guitar, and came across one sitting in a local musicstore warehouse.
Samick Greg Bennett GD-100/VS

It was a store display set, and played very well indeed, everything was (and is) still absolutely spot on. Best part, it only costed about 13 USD, with a nice padded bag included!

Now, to the only issue with the piece - it was supposedly lifted up by a player into a table corner, and it caused a 5x3cm circle indent into the laminate side :


Is that worth patching up? If yes, how should I go about doing it?
Wood filler, pushing the wood from the inside out and super gluing it, and wood gluing are the only options I've come up with.

Thanks for the help,

Cheers!

A recent topic was on installation of a soundport, this would be a good option to hide that damage.

Hey Mirwa!

Yes, I've thought of the soundhole idea, only that there's two problems -
As you can see by the picture, the outer radius of the crackline goes to the white binding area. The centre of the crack that has dented is in the middle, and the soundport idea would remove it, but I wouldn't be able to get rid of the outer cracks as i'd be drilling into the sidebrace.

2nd issue, I don't have any dremmel tools/hardware as.. well, I'm Asian, and I live in an apartment.
Hm, any other ideas?

Cheers

From all you've said, I'd just leave it alone and focus on playing.
