It's around the toggle switch on the top. I suspect it could be sanded back and repainted, if the paint were to match. I wrote to the insurance people and am waiting to hear if they will let me claim on it, then I'll see if I can get a price on fixing it. There's a really good guitar repair guy in Hobart.

I have now moved to Sweden for love (awwww).
