2013 Gibson Les Paul Traditional.  The owner bought the guitar with change he has saved over the years and then unfortunately had a run-in with a mic stand while recording.  He was super bummed, to say the least.

Cool thing is that the finish is nitrocellulose, so I can drop in some fills and then burn them in for a near undetectable repair.  These dents are all the way down to the wood, so in the past I have steamed out the dents through the finish to minimize the amount of drop fill required.  I have found this works better on clear finishes however - the steam can do funky things as it penetrates through the sunburst color layer on it’s way down to the wood.
