Rough sanded back, the DIY filler worked ok around the dowel. Looks like I can get away with hiding this under the truss rod cover. I'm feeling a lot better about this fix now.

Cheers guys. This had me sweating for a bit but hey, have learned a new skill in the process! Should get my decal just as the head-stock is ready for it!

Nice work, a lesson in how to come back from adversity!
Nice save man, it came out really tidy. Looking good!
Very tidy, Andrew. I swear some screws just break like it was what they were designed to do, what a pain.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Soldering complete. Plugged into amplification and it all seems to be working..
That's the bottom end done. Maybe I should keep this as a one string Djent guitar?
Time to wrap up the headstock then a quick cut and polish

Nice fix Andrew and still one of the classiest SGs Ive seen.
Id keep both E strings. you could always use the high E for some lead style triplets and trills thrown in just to mix it up and push the djent envelope.
