Patching a big hole in a ’53 Telecaster

This is an original 1953 Telecaster that someone routed holes in. Looks like it was modified to hold a Bigsby vibrato. Dan Erlewine replaces the missing wood with a darned good match so this guitar can go back on the vintage market. About the guitar in this video: This Tele body is from 1953. In order to sell the guitar, the owner wants to restore it to nearly-original condition. Swamp Ash Body Blank Clear Pickguard Material
