looks like a pretty nasty clamp mark there, but depending on where you cut it down it may not show up, except I bet it's already cut down to final taper. Sometimes cupping and dings can be ironed out with a wet rag, but not so easily on a curved area of course. Anyhow it looks minimal to me. If you'd bent it yourself it wouldn't be so bad because these are areas that won't affect the sound or playability really IMHO. I would at least send pics back to the supplier. I wonder how much they charged. If cheap then not such a big deal. Wood is not perfect anyway. If you don't want it send it to me.
