Started the fine sanding but ran out of time. May have gone a little too hard with the 60 grit, leaving these deep white marks. I might need to dig a little deeper, but I should be able to get it out.

Stumbled across these on eBay (£16 instead of £75). I didn't like these tuners back when I was first building it, but now I own some Fenders, my taste has changed.
I decided on J pickups for the new build, which left me with the issue of filling this hole routed out for a Musicman humbucker. Using the old J pickup as a placeholder, I've carefully filled the cavity with wood filler. Best I can hope for is the end result isn't hideous...
When it sets hard, you can sand it flush with existing wood, then with a scraper or pick you can draw/scratch in where the wood grain might have gone originally, then fill in the wood grain with dark paint/ink color of some sort.
