I was going to say earlier, if it was on the opposite side, it could've been a soundport. No joke.
What @Gouch said, I don't think that's that big of a problem as long as it didn't affect anything else.
Did you get any cost estimates?
You've been talking about installing Krivo internally. The spot where you punched it seems like a perfect placement for the pick-up jack. Cut out the damage and install the plate with the pickup jack. You're handy, you can do that yourself no problem.
It's a stringphonic 503 basic , I probably won't ever sell it at least for a very very long time, once they become sentimental, I'm fine with whatever it looks like like just as long as it's structurally sound and still plays good.
Oh dang I didn't even think of adding a jack plate there, that's freaking perfect idea might have to make something at work that's big enough to cover that but dang thanks for idea, my tech said it would be 80$-100$ to fix it, I definitely trust him, he's the most recommended person in my area
I agree battles scars are cool all my other electrics guitars definitely have PTSD lol but I want to maintain some kind decency/innocence to the instrument, it hasn't been through enough to deserve this yet
While a jack plate is probably one solution, that's a pretty substantial hole, and a plate might still require some support/cosmetic work around the edges. And I would be pretty particular about who does the work. But then, I'm spoiled by having access to three first-rate repair/restore people within a 90-minute drive.
Do not underestimate the challenge of that kind of repair. I recently needed to replace a tailpiece on my Shelley Park, and while it looked like a just-screw-it-on job (a pre-bent DR that looked just like the DR that Shelley used) I'm glad I took it to a luthier friend rather than trying to do it myself--it required enlarging the hole for the pickup jack, which required the use of a drill press and a special bit and a lot of careful positioning.
Yeah I'd rather ship it to somone
Looks like it got taken care of pretty well I'll find out on Monday when I get back from vacation.
Looks like a very neat patch job--some of the grain even lines up. These side injuries are often less dire than they look, and many repairs wind up very hard to spot. This is one of those.
Wow, very nice repair.
