Thanks for the reply.
The links look helpful and I'll have to spend some time reading up!
I did seriously think about buying that squire, and a few other guitars likek that also but I wanted something to do with the actual modification and getting my hands a little dirty in the process. I have always loved woodworking and have refinished an old dean several years ago and was really satified playing that guitar in public knowing I did the work myself....I guess I'm being selfish <lol>
Anyway, thanks again. the dowels are a great idea!

Hi there,
I recently found this site and decided that since I needed a back up guitar I would buy a cheapie and do some work on it.
I bought a washburn that has 2 single coils and a humbucker, 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 5 way blade type switch.
I want to refinish the guitar and I have someone lined up to do some custome graphics.
I want to go with a single humbucker with a volume control only. Does anyone have any ideas of what to fill the single coil holes and other extra holes with? I was thinking of glueing a small block inside the electronics cavity and tremolo hole but I am unsure of filler material that will not look bad when sanded and painted and also possibly add to the tonal qualities of the guitar. The guitar has a basswood body, and I plan to drop a SD screaming demon into it. I also am thinking of going with a tune 'o matic bridge. The guitar had a 'vintage' tremolo and I have a floyd rose I am debating about putting into it, but I would also need to do some filling if I go with a fixed bridge. I was also thinking of filling the biggest part of the pickup holes wood blocks but am unsure of the filler material.
Any help or resources greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Thanks for all the replies, being new to this site I needed to look around a little. I read the post and thought out how I want to do this. I also looked around town and found that wood epoxy putty so I'm aces at this point!
I will take some pics and post them when finished.
Thanks again to all of you, I just can't wait to get started!!!\
