[quote name='bassbarber' post='584499' date='Aug 29 2009, 02:15 PM']hi i wanted to fill some holes from were a old scratchplate/ pickguard has been. what is the best way of doing this the body is black by the way. could i use something like uni bond or polly filler and a maker pen ?[/quote]

I'm certainly no expert but I'd assume a dark wood filler would be your best bet. I'm not sure how you'd get the black finish even though without sanding around the filled in hole and repsraying.

Unibond and pollyfiller would probably leave a chalky/plasterlike finish which would be pretty noticable.
