hey, i've got an old acoustic guitar that my aunty gave me that supposedly my grandad made, I'd imagine if he did it was from one of those sets you buy.... but anyway, just for fun, and because it needs doing, i thought i'd kinda sort it out, whether it's worth it i,m not sure, but i've started so i'm gonna finish.. I'm sorted on pretty much all fronts but with the body, quite a few years back it was in a house which had woodworm, well now obviously thats gone but the holes are still there, what should i do about filling them? And I'm going to repaint it (the original colour- i wanna keep it as much the same as possible) but i have no idea what type of paint to use.. any help would be greatly appreciated, also, what is the best way to go about doing the rim bits that you get, like for around the neck, outside of body and f holes? Thanks.
