Hi guys

Been looking the forums for quite a while but I didnt post too much...
Anyways I just wanted to share pics bout my precious that I got last year in october.Bought her for a bargain price of 230,000 yen + they wrote 50,000 yen on the shipping paper so it was quite a nice deal.It was listed as "used" but it was brand new no scratches and etc... guess the previous owner bought it and then got bored of it after a day XD
Then in november or something the paint came off from the right wing ... it's just a little chip but it still annoys me...the interesting fact is that they first apply the glow in the dark paint and then add the black... the chip is not the wood , its the glowing paint... anyone know how should I fix it? take it to a guitar shop ? can they add a little black paint? It's on the 8th pic.
Thanks for the reply...heres the pics:

damn that is nice. If it's just the coat of glow in the dark paint, then cover it up with some black paint

The magic of black sharpies will give you a quick fix until you can get it painted

Is it new, that they write "custom shop" right under the esp logo?
