Opinions on buying chipped/dinged guitars

I found a good deal on a chipped/dinged/scratched guitar and pulled the trigger. It is mostly paint damage and no serious damage. But I don't know how I feel about it. What are your opinions? Would you buy guitars in such condition?

Cheers mate.

It has arrived and it is beautiful. Haven't tried it through my amps yet but even playing it without amps, it sounds massive and crazy resonant. The feel is nothing like my snakebyte or the ESP EXP. I'm in love.

Some people like old beat up guitars. I think it's cool to have a variety of different guitar qualities. But you gotta think, Are the scratches and chips gonna affect the sound and playing quality?

Looks good the way it is. Don't be afraid to add a few of your own.

Monster sound! I am very pleased with it. Tried it with a Mark IV for some metallica late 80s tones and it nails them perfectly
