At the very least, the first ding is out of the way...
Enjoy your very nice CS D-18!

You created a unique vibrational node that will confer a distinctive tone that your legions of fans will try to emulate for generations to come! Better than a Keith Richards alternate tuning!

Exactly! Dings in used guitars don't really bother me at all!

Congrats! I just sprayed my D-18 with keyboard cleaner to check the finish on the top.

But it's really nice to play now that it's set up right. I love it!

I have a Gibson L-00 that I looked over at while it in its stand and I noticed a chip out the nitrocellulose near the fretboard. My heart dropped. A luthier fixed it for $50. I have lots of little dings on it now.
