There was also a trench on the back of the guitar with the same filler that I removed and filled also.

The horn came out great.

^The different layers of filler almost look like grain.


There's only this one little spot where the old stuff shows-no big deal.

From a few feet away you can't even tell.
So let's just hope it stays that way when I stain it.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-project-problem/paged/2/#post-257157 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-project-problem/paged/2/#post-257144 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 22:58:00 +0000 As for the progress...I got a wood putty that according to the old guy at the hardware store will work the best, and i'm building it up in layers. If this doesn't work, I might try tracking down someone more experienced in woodworking and see if they could make a piece of wood to fit.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-project-problem/paged/2/#post-257144 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/refinishing-project-problem/paged/2/#post-256972 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 03:45:55 +0000

Leave the chunk like it is, paint it the way you want (making sure not to get any in the chunk area),
and distress the whole guitar.
Make it look old and used.

I had a 63 SG that, when I bought it, looked like it had been in a swamp for a couple years.
It had a big chunk missing from the edge of the body where it had evidently been dropped.

While I didn't care much for the sound, it did have tons of character 8)
