    On the control holes, I would back the Bondo with dowel plugs. Bondo is OK for filling pickup cavities, but there is still wood on the bottom. You can take a piece of dowel and cut it with an X-Acto razor saw wafer thin and glue it at the bottom of the hole, let dry and fill in the depression with Bondo leaving a slight build up for sanding.
    Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.

              Well that being a 1 hum thats pretty rare.I would not fill the holes just for that reason.I think that guitar should be refined to original it deserves it.If you don't plan to use a tone or mid boost just put in the pots to fill the holes.A quality refin will run $700.00+ I'm sure.That guitar needs a lot of TLC But IMO its worth it.A 1 hum soloist is a very special find.
              If you wish to go the total refin direction P.M.me and I'll put you in touch with one of the best in the business..

                Nice cleanup job on that case!

                I'm sure the body will look better(along with the neck when it's cleaned) will look MUCH better. Post a pic of that when you get time.

                        Too late Andy!
                        Popular is not the same as good
                        Rare is not the same as valuable
