Daze of October said:What type of climate are you in? Do you leave the guitar in overly cool, hot, dry, or humid areas? Also keep in mind if you're getting dings in the guitar from basic usage, that's not a paint flaw. I, like you, take extremely good care of my instruments, ESPECIALLY my Warmoth, yet I've still managed to get some "wear." I don't wear belts or anything abrasivef when I play, and I've been very careful not to hit it on anything. Despite my extreme care, there are some light scratches in the paint, and I wouldn't really even call them scratches. There are so many ways to get a ding in a guitar, it's unreal. It really doesn't take much.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling you a liar or calling you out. It definitely kills when something happens and you don't know how it got there.
Well, a little background, I'm 45 years old and have been playing since I was 14. I've had dozens of guitars over the years and have never chipped the paint like this. I'm not saying it's Warmoth's finish, I must have bumped it into something and didn't notice. That drives me nuts as I am always on top of being careful with my stuff. Japan can be humid in the summer but I always keep my guitars in their cases and each case has a digital hygrometer. I'm on top of the weather conditions.
No, this was a bump into something, a mysterious something. That is the cause of my angst, I don't know what I did to cause that.
