My first thought on fixing the edges was to use a rabbiting bit to cut a square channel around the guitar front and back............ sort of like a binding channel but bigger. Then cut wooden strips that could be steam bent to glue into the routed channel. Another option might be glue in solid pieces of wood which are cut the match the shape of the channel. They could be planed or sanded flat to match the front and back and a flush trim bit could be used to match the sides.

Then put on a proper 1/8 in. radius and finish it in a vintage blonde with opaque sides fading to translucent front and back.
