How did you manage to do that? It doens't look 'sanded through' per se. IT looks more like a punched hole. How thick are the sides right along the edge of the hole? Like others suggested if you did overzealously sand through the sides then it would be very thin on the edges but that doesn't look like it to me.

Is the black area on the binding, your having sanded through the binding to reveal a black purflng strip?

I patched a hole of a similar size. Guitar had larger structural work and was re-
topped. Not a pro; amateur guitar hacker. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] |

That's the way to do it, with the scarf joint.

If I'm reading the photo correctly, the OP has sanded down through the mahogany veneer into the ply substrate.
Be careful that when you've patched it with a new piece that you don't sand through the veneer again. It's probably only 1/40th to 1/28th of an inch thick. |

It looks like solid wood to me, but there is some red stain on the surface that has been sanded away in places.

After looking at the photo again, I think you're probably right. I thought the reddish color sitting on top of the lighter wood was glue between veneers, but perhaps it's simply dust.
