Bear Mr Jingle-Jangle.
My 2008 model 4003 has been 4-2-5d. This mod has left empty holes from the RIC tuning keys and a chip in the back of the headstock. Can these blemishes be repaired, filled in, smoothed out ?? By you ? Should I bring it to the SF confluence to show and tell and suffer the humiliation ? I survived catholic school in the 60s so I can handle a brass ruler to the knuckles. Nuns...........in my dreams. Sisters of perpetual pain. Amen.

Just take it to the shop teacher, Sister Mary Black and Decker.

Bring it to BARC. I'll get the Bondo ready!

Seriously, I can help you on this. Bring it in.

I remember Sister B&D. She smoked non-filter Pall Malls. The Bondo worked great but I now have serious neck dive.

Wow. You must've used cast iron Bondo...the usual kind is lighter than maple.
