      Great project! I wish I could find something like that amoung the couple hundred POS guitars in my shops.
      I got to give you props! That sanding can be a mutha!
      Looking forward to seeing this one completed.

          I forgot about this thread. I finished this project long ago, I need to upload the photos still. I'm not sure what the guys around here would suggest but I used automotive Bondo to fill my dents and cracks, I was told that it wouldn't shrink or crack over time or due to humidity like wood filler would. Again the veterans from here would prolly have much better advice then I can give.
          Causing chaos one note at a time!

            I've used bondo to fill single coils (not the entire route, just the last 1/4" or so) and it's held together for 20 years.

                Very cool project, dude! If your not going with the guitars original color, Then I would go for any color for that beauty, do it in a flipflop color scheme. that would be cool, The wiring on those are pretty hard for the novice as it is a 5 way switch. I'll dig through my stuff I may have the schmatic. I changed mine to a 3 way like a Les Paul. Enjoy and post pics of progress
