Would you put an inlay on this guitar ?

Hi,

I’m building a new guitar a private stock prs style guitar.

however I got a wormhole in the body and the stain didn’t apply evenly.


would you put an inlay over the wormhole or not ?

Nah, I like it. It is unique, and has a cool story.

What wormhole?

I’d put two more pickups in to cover the weak patch.

Floating pickguard. Use the classic Les Paul Junior shape for inspiration.

Leave it. If anyone says anything,tell 'em it was relic'd by nature! Nice looking build,by the way.

 

[beaubrummels]

Itsa has a good idea, but I would suggest making the guard out of another thin piece of beautiful wood. The top is too nice to put a plain black shape over.

Don't think of it as a problem - think of it as a feature.

I vote leave it. It makes it different.

Adding a neck humbucker would take care of it.

I absolutely would not keep it like that. Looks cheap and I think over time you would come to regret it.

Route a neck pickup. That guitar shape needs it anyway.

I join those who think a neck pickup is the way to go.

I like this idea a lot. But I'm a fan of pickguards in general . . .
