Art/Literary - Music / Beschreibung einer gebrauchten Gitarre
English term or phrase: chips (hier)
Es geht um eine gebrauchte 1973er Fender E-Gitarre, die Hauptgewinn eines Gewinnspiels ist.

Ihr Zustand wird wie folgt beschrieben:

"Cosmetic Condition: This is a used, vintage instrument. The top has its fair share of scratches as well as some dents and dings, but nothing too serious. There are a good amount of **chips** around the sides as well as some buckle rash on the back. ..."

Was "chips" hier bedeuten soll, ist mir völlig rätselhaft.
