Those kinds of dings are very annoying but somewhat inevitable given the age. And if you play (played) the guitar regularly, especially in a band, you're going to get 'em!

That said, our pal, Trevor, is a master of a repair technique called drop filling. If you really, really, really are serious in fixing these blemishes, you can follow his wonderful step by step post here: http://www.matsumoku.org/ggboard/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=7135&hilit=drop+fill
