Just throw the guitar in the bin Leo. A flamenco guitar with marks on it is worthless. You should have been more careful.

Next time have a silk or velvet tracksuit taylor made and only play the guitar while wearing it. Cut your finger nails completely off. Play very carefully and only golpe very softly while paying strict attention to every movement you make with your right hand.

Don't wory if people don't get excited by your playing and say you sound wimpy. Keeping the guitar in pristine condition is the most important

that sounds worse than death!

msa, i think black golpeadors would look kind of cool. maybe you can pair it with black saddles, nut, and rollers. or you can always go with traditional white. anyway, post some pics when you fix it up!

THAT is FP? Looks like nail dings or dents in what I always thought was thick lacquer. On FP guitars I have seen the nail marks turn white like the wood yet are easy to touch up or buff out.

I think Paco would roll his eyes and ask "you call those scratches kid?"
