I guess the answer to your question is how do you feel about it?
If you like all your guitars pristine collectable then have the mothership take care of it.
If the guitar is a tool and has other dings, scratches, etc then I would probably just make sure it was secure and leave it be.

What is the humidity where the guitar is kept? If it just happened on its on I would definitely check both the humidity and the heat.

Location: Long Island, N.Y. | yes once I got the guitar, I have been humidifying it. the crack is sealed. I was trying to cover up the burn through but the stain wont take. thank you |
