Just got a very, very nice, mint 2013 PRS SE Singlecut, but during shipping, this happened. Anything to do to fix the issue?

File an insurance claim for the cost of the repair.

Can’t see the pics either.

Updated. See them now? Bought from eBay, but shipped with USPS. Who do I file it with?

With whom? eBay or USPS?

 

[bodia]

I’m gonna say USPS.

Able to see the pix?

Affirmative. I should add, I said USPS because they were the shipping company. However, if that wasn’t in a gig bag, I’d file with eBay since it was, perhaps, poorly packed.

This thing was packed in a ton of bubble wrap. No gig bag. Plays great. Easy fix? Or no?

Not really sure, I’m no expert on finish repairs. I’d still file a claim. Not for the whole thing, but for the estimated repair cost. It sucks that it happened.

Contact the shipper. They should have gotten shipping insurance with the USPS. They may have to file the claim as they got the insurance.

Ouch! If the crack in lacquer hasn’t gone down to the wood, you may be able to build up coats of high-viscosity super glue.

It may not be an easy repair.

So sorry that your guitar arrived like this!

The drop fill one?

Relatively easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Yep!

If the damage is down to the wood/stain it could be tricky!

 

[snfrd84]

Just not sure if it's worth fixing. I have NO clue what it would cost to fix. Prs would probably charge more than what I paid for it. Or close..

This. Or return it to seller, get a refund, and let them deal with it.
