it is always interesting to hear about expansion of the arsenal of finishing tricks. Thank you. I never seem to hear about it, but it is entirely possible the do a very nice guitar finish without using pore filler at all. both of the single 0 guitars I am bringing to B.I.G, (B'sox International Guitarapalooza)for instance, have no pore filler. One is from Pernambuco which had nowhere to put the pore filler, but the other is Honduran Mahogany, which has notable pores. It took 2 more coats of finish to get the Mahogany guitar dead flat. Having no pore filler (or clear pore filler but I am anti-epoxy in a wood guitar) looks VERY beautiful to me.
