Hi folks,

I finally got a '96 LP Standard Ebony back in my life. She's seen a lot in her 24 years and some crazy mods have made her a little rough around the edges.

When I picked it up it came with a Bigsby. I'm not a fan so its been taken off and replaced with a standard stop tail. Its got some nasty screw holes from the Bigsby which I'm going to attempt to repair myself.

I know years ago you could buy Gibson touch up pens but those are out of production. Any other tips or suggestions?

EDIT: I can't figure out why my images won't post so here's the links
