@LollarGuitars well my color design is like in the video so the guitar is like a bunch of colors altogether and the scratch it long so it scratches out just about all the color. Would you have to get a clear lacquer or colored lacquer. I don't know anything about lacquer only that the people tht lived in my house before left alot of it behind and lacquer polish, remover, etc. It's all liquid though.

@cloudcally making a nearly invisible repair on a sunburst finish like that takes extreme talent mixing colors into lacquer- the burn in stick will fill deep scratches where lacquer alone wont. Scratch removers have a pigment in them to darken the wood a little- its not ideal but it could be better than what it is now for sure!

@LollarGuitars now I have to find some kind of scratch remover because this one's deep. Screw me for doing that.

@cloudcally There is a really old method not many people know how to do anymore but we used it when I did antique restoration- its called burn in lacquer stick or burning in with lacquer stick. Its really difficult to do and you would want to find someone that can do it but it can be an almost invisible repair. Its basically dried lacquer in a stick form you heat up and fill the hole with- you have to be good at color matching then you level and buff- you can put fake grain lines too.
