mrscrunter Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hey Everyone, i'm working on a project at the moment, it's a body with H/s/H pickup routing. I want to block up the holes for the neck hummer and middle single coil. I will then finish the guitar with a solid colour. Question is, how do i go about filling the holes? Will i be able toget a good finish after the holes are filled? I also want to fill in the holes for the tone pot and 5 way switch (so i will be left with just one volume) i presume that this can be done using a similar method to the filling of the pickup holes? thanks in advance eveyone!

PerryL Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 What kind of wood is on the top where the pickups are? I've done a similar job with Basswood by splicing a section into it. I first made a straight line from the bottom edge of the pickup and cutting a small section the same width up to the neck pocket. Secondly, cutting a section of the same top wood, and spicing it in. Try to match up the grain with the same type top wood, and finish it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
