Plugging Leftover Archtop Holes?

3rdBass · #1 07-28-2006, 06:00 PM

Hey, all-

Could anybody direct me to a website that sells 3/8" "goof plugs" ? I have leftover holes in a semi-hollowbody archtop that I want to cover. I couldn't find any on the Stew Mac site nor through a Google search but I know they exist. I'm told they're available through electronic stores in plastic and chrome steel.

Failing that, any ideas for what to do with leftover, unwanted holes? I thought of using dummy pots & knobs or jacks, but wanted a cleaner llook.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Why dont you go to Home depot, and buy 3/8 maple plugs. They are in the tool isle near the routers. Just an idea

Check your hardware stores. I can think of three places near me that sell all kinds of plugs. They are there.

Found some in the small hardware drawers @ Home Depot. Never figured they'd be that easy to locate. Thanks.

Ya youcan get black plastic to match black hardware or chrome to match chrome etc.

Easy, quick & cheap! The harder part was working through the f-holes to reverse the wiring back to normal.
