I did a superglue drop fill on the side of an acoustic guitar where the finish had chipped off to expose a small area of bare wood. After scraping the filled-in area flat with a single edged razor blade and sanding/pollishing it, the repair was invisible.

Was the screw there when you took it to the luthier and missing when you got it back? - if so then surely its his responsibility to either find the missing screw or source a replacement.

My 1212L has had a hard life, and like a fool I never bothered getting a roqsolid cover for it. The rat fur is living up to its name and is now rather ratty. It has pilled up in some areas like an old woolly jumper, and seems to have grabbed it’s weight in dust, fluff, hair, and other detritus. If it was tolexed or had a tuffcab finish it would probably clean up with a wipe of a damp cloth, but the rat fur is not so easy to clean. Ideally I’d like to strip off the rat fur and tuff-cab it, but that is probably more of an involved process than I can undertake at the moment so I want to spruce it up—and then once it is clean & tidy I’ll order a roqsolid cover. Any tips for cleaning it up from anyone who has done similar? I’m planning to hoover it first, maybe after brushing it with a semi-soft brush, then use the sticky side of some gaffa tape like a lint roller to get more stubborn dirt/dust out of it, then a wipe down with a damp cloth.—Does that sound like a reasonable way to approach the job? How should I tackle the pilled areas? Would something like a JML Bobble-off shaver for jumpers work?
