Filling a hole in pickguard

[Frankie Chestnuts]

Hey all. Sorry if this has been covered.

What do folks use to cap an unused pot hole in a pickguard? Lots of options on Amazon, but just looking for something that will fit well, won't pop out and will look clean. TIA.

Put in a mini switch that does nothing. Use a little O ring to fill the gap. If someday you want to use the switch you're ready.

Something like this, maybe? I dunno about this particular supplier (11 weeks manufacturer lead time? Come on.), but you could use the terms they have for it to search for a supplier who has them on hand and ready to ship.

I was thinking of just leaving a dummy tone pot.

Just need to make sure the plastic matches the color. Maybe the chromed buttons. Looks like I'll be able to find something. Thanks all.

Happy to help out. I noticed Home Depot has the 3/8" metal ones as well, if that's more convenient for you.
