I have recently bought an gibson sg but there are many holes in the body from various tremolo parts put on it. I was wondering if there is any possible way to fill the holes and be able to refinish the guitar and solid vintage white without the any of the holes showing though the finish.
dnt finish the holes , its worth a hell of a lot more damaged , alot of people like played and worn guitars they have a better tone , look at guitarists like jimmy hendrix , his guitar was wrecked but it had a perfect tone , keep it true man

dont refinish it! you will destroy any value the guitar has! If its older its worth more money than new, take it to a guitar shop (not a pawn shop) and have it apprased. It is worth more money with holes than re-fined.

I would use a fibreglass repair kit on it. You will need to be able to block the holes from behind first really..follow the instructions on the kit, and use car body filler to fill any small dips left. then it's ready for paint
