Kenny_K75 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just gor my hands on an epiphone thunderbird and am going to do the normal strap button position modification. Any ideas what would be a good material for filling and finsishing off the hole from the original strap button screw. Just want something that will be permanent and easy to get hold of.

Was hoping to use something like plastic wood or something and see if I could stain it. Might try the screw though.

GreeneKing Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you leave it there and just add a new button it keeps the 'authentic' look and it's resale value. A new owner might actually like the neck dive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
