well, if it helps that along, i use only wooden matches that i've tapped for tone; i've found that mahogany matches will add a bit of depth to the tone, depending on the glue you use, and what strap pin you're replacing. you'll want mahogany in the butt end, (we all know that's where your low end tone comes from) but if your guitar is too bright, you CAN use mahogany in the top strap hole, as that's where your top end/bright tone comes from.

your average white glue will be too soft, and won't bond on a molecular level with the match, so if you use that, you'll instantly kill your tone, and in some cases, send yourself back in time. i've found that super glue works better than krazy glue, as the krazy glue is too unstable, hence its name. a good wood glue or super glue (not krazy) is the way to go. this is nothing to be trifled with, my friends... a wrong mix of glue and dowel, match, or toothpick could actually prove fatal.

As far as NOTP's question... I think you have the answer.
Matches/toothpicks and glue of some type (Elmers/wood/super). I've got a couple strap and pick-up ring screw holes done this way myself. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

bleh

Wood glue is Satan's semen. It's good for pumping up Saddam Hussein's ass and nothing more (see the South Park movie for more information pertaining to Hussein's ass). Also, matchsticks are shite. One false move in front of the pyro guy and POOF! Your guitar goes up in flames. Maybe I should cut the head off first... [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

USe wood glue and very fine sawdust, mix them together to get a paste and fill the hole with this paste. Let it dry and drill a new hole.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Okay then. Anyone who uses any kind of tape to keep their strap on instead of using some kind of strap lock is a fucking retard... plain and simple! [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]

[img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ALL of my main guitars have straplocks. People think they're expensive because they don't realize that one set of straplocks will work on TWO guitars. As long as the rear button is big enough, you don't have to worry about the strap coming off. This doesn't apply to SOME guitars, but anything remotely normal will work like that.
