Yes... Exactly.
If I have to take it to the end of good looking you might as well throw away the instrument and buy a new one because it will be more expensive to repair.
Anyway I cannot help it. I always try my best and I always end up furious about why on earth did I accept the job. Because it is also difficult to go halfway and let the instrument go to the wild nature speaking like that of your work. It's also your reputation that is at stake and that is not a minor thing to consider.
People could ask:
"Who fixed this?"
"A guy named Sato there"
"Hm... Looks a bit crappy"
And no one is going to appear out of the blue with the list of justifications for the halfway job.
Most people have no clue what a cheap guitar is neither can tell when they have a good one.
Anyways.
I always struggle with this.
I try my best, end up losing time and money. But I think in some way can be a long term good advertising...
