rabidscoobie Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 OK I have a Ibanez RG 550 that I got complete for a $100 bucks.The paint is all gone but it is a complete guitar.It has a h-s-h pickup configuration,1 volume,1 tone and a 5-way switch.Now what i want to do is do away with the 5-way,tone, and single coil pickup and put 1 push/pull pot and a 3-way toggle kinda like on the Les Pauls.It will be a solid color of a deep blue finish.but what I need to know is exactly how and what to use to fill in these cavaties or give me link to a site that gives a good description of how to do this.And yes ive seen the post on the EVH 5150 guitar but not much of a description on how to do this.I am familiar with fillers and such some what,I build custom plastic models but this is wood I love this guitar I just want it to look good since I have a box full of goodies here....Original Floyd Rose,Duncan jb-4 and Pearly Gates Pickups.PLease help.

truerussian558 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 im not in anyway an expert on this, but if the routes are tidy enough, you can cut a block of wood, the right height to the right shape, and glue it in, and then fill in the cracks and such with a wood filler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Try using this same method but only use Epoxy for your adhesive. I need to correct that tutorial soon. What your trying to do is basically just inlaying wood in wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
