Hey all just a quick question. I am attempting to refinish an old jackson guitar body. It appears to be made of basswood. The grain isn't too attractive and I have already filled in holes used to mount pickup rings with wood fillter. I am afraid If I stain the guitar these holes will show through. So my question is how should I finish the body? Is paint my only option? If I can use a stain what would look good in everyones opinion? Will I be able to cover up the filled holes?
Thanks a bunch in advance, I will post progress pics
