Partial black contour repair?

[BasistaFunky]

Hello there guys, I want to make a cosmetic correction to this black contour only in the place where it' s enclosed by the red:

But first I'd like to mention that this black contour line wasn't done the standart way like - paint is applied to the wood first and then the laquier over it you know, it was made after the guitar was completely painted and laquiered, and then the laquer was sanded and matted and then the black line contour was drawn with a black permanent marker on it and then the whole guitar was re-lacquered on top with a clear polyurethane laquer to seal the black contour. So my question is - Instead of removing the whole lacquer of the guitar and drawing again the black contour with the permanent marker and lacquered the whole guitar again, is there any option to partially fix this detail?

I'm sorry, but I don't see anything wrong with that spot that isn't present further to the left. FYI the correct way to put the contour line on is to route a groove and fill it with wood, or during construction a base layer is made then the contour layer, and finally a top; then all three are laminated together.

Just leave it alone. It seems like a lot of work for a mundane detail no one is going to notice. It looks fine.

Not worth the effort, IMHO.

Agreed, almost anything I can think of is likely to look worse rather than better. Leave it and don’t obsess about it. All my bass builds have tiny imperfections, but so does nearly every mass produced bass I’ve ever seen. It’s Human.

amen! i'll go one better: i've never played/seen an EB, no matter the builder/price, that was "perfect" in every way. fortunately, all of them have characteristics that make them unique and special --- even though some might call those characteristics, "imperfections."

per the OP: you won't notice that when you're practicing reading your etudes!

Nah. Don’t obsess over such minor things. Wash your hands of this trivial detail. Twice.
