Things didn’t work out quite as I would have liked.  The colour match wasn’t quite right and the damage to cover is a little too large.  Since it’s in such a prominent position, right on top, it will need some closer attention.

I’ve found some small pieces of wood veneer on e-bay, I just need to work out which one is the closest match to the colour and grain.

Add some lacquer to see what it will look like when finished

I think one of these will do.

The darkest one seems about right.

So next cut out a small piece from the guitar and glue in a small piece on veneer over the hole, lacquer and polish.
