<p>That's the ticket I'm talking about, Mark (s). It's not too hard to find other examples on the WWW. You can find a lot of ideas for this sort of thing by searching for fine furniture inlay designs. </p>
<p>I suppose another option would be to do a fill with wood that wouldn't blend with the existing top then apply a thin overlay of some sort. Material to match the existing pickguard (perhaps the tortoise shell look, Mark mentioned) might look good with a simple inlay. If the existing P.G.…</p>

Material to match the existing pickguard (perhaps the tortoise shell look, Mark mentioned) might look good with a simple inlay. If the existing P.G. is semi-transparent some color may be needed on the patch to make it look right but is should be fairly straight forward. </p> I would try something like t…tag:fretsnet.ning.com,2016-02-12:2177249:Comment:1539102016-02-12T22:04:44.165ZMark Foglemanhttp://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/MarkFogleman

<p> I think I'd do a decorative inlay rather than try to match the wood grain. Probably something in a arch to cover the missing area, rather than trying to fit a square. It wouldn't have to be too fancy. Do some searching on veneer on the web and you will find that there is a lot more selection than you will find at the local building center. If you want color, look for pressure dyed veneers. </p>

<p>BTW, if you haven't already, you should check on the inside to insure that the tail block is properly positioned and secured. That looks like the guitar was dropped so the block may have been broken loose.</p>
