And this why we don't talk and drill
And this why we don't talk and drill
Oooppss. Have done it at other times - though thankfully not with my guitar... Good news is where it is - I think you'll be the only one who knows it's there - you and the person you were talking to...

Bwahahahahahaha! Welcome to the club!
That is a mistake you will only ever make the one time!
Good news is it is in a spot where you should be able to hide the repair so no one but you (and the forum members) will ever know is there.
The tooth pick should work fine as a plug, just round off the fat end so it is a snug fit then tap it in.
I wouldn’t worry about gluing it in as the Wudtone will seal it up nicely.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
haha, i did that with the strap buttons on my LP, I drilled them at 4mm not 3.5mm... Also DB gave me the wrong bit at the start, so I'm blaming him as well :P
I hope he doesnt give me a pink, fretless Hofner Bass now....
Yeah, I felt extremely silly after that, I can assure you i'll be a lot more careful now!
Pest, your next kit is going to arrive in a putrid hot lipstick pink for that remark

Oh crap!!!! I better keep this Dark Onyx with me so i can make it red :P
Also DB don't worry, I'm going to make a plug for it soon and re-drill the hole
Tristan the washers on the tuners need to be reversed.
Yes the toothpick should hide the hole once covered with wudtone, I've done that trick once too and won't do it again !
