Pickguard repair

Sign in to disble this ad
xxxxxx Guitar Content xxxxxxx

Is there some way to fill a hole in a pickguard (black) with the same material or something that would blend with it?

I'm working on a friend's Gibson Sonex (made 1980-'84), so getting a new pickguard is out of the question.There's a mini-toggle hole drilled in it that I'm going to have to utilize for a coil tap switch or something just because I don't want to leave an ugly open hole. Also, I glued some chips of it back together and buffed the glue joints with a plastic-bristle Dremmel brush and wore a pit in it! It's no big deal to him, but I'm a compulsive perfectionist...

Any help would be appreciated.

Out of the question?

Sonex pickgaurd.

If vintage is an issue, package the parts and save them for future sale and use the replacement as a wearing part.

Awesome! Thanks for the link!

Vintage-ness is not an issue, I just didn't think there would be aftermarket parts.
