I have just got a second hand Jackson off eBay and I got it dead cheap cos it has a huge ding (well more like hole) in the body (~2 in along the edge below the PU selector). This wont effect tone or the way it pays however I am currently weighing up options to get rid of the offending ding.

I figure there are several options:

1) get a new body
2) fill the existing hole and try to match its color to the rest of the body
3) sand the ding out and try to match its color to the rest of the body
4) sand it out and repaint the whole body
5) sand the ding out and paint it a totally different color
6) pay some one to fix it

Any thoughts ?
