OK, the bottom hole on my strats pickup selector is stripped, the screw just fals in and out, what can I do/ use to fill it?

Fill the hole with a toothpick or 2, break off flush and insert screw.

If it's larger than the toothpick, try a matchstick and break it off in the hole after dipping it in glue.

or use some wood filler, fill, let dry, drill new hole, voila.

Gorrila Glue would be a great glue for this. It expands and then hardens, so it'll fill any voids around the toothpick. Great stuff.

If you have a strat and the 3 or 5 way selector is what your referring to....then you are not dealing with wood.

Im shocked noone caught this

You have plastic pickguard then switch....Im guessing you have the switch which uses nuts behind it rather than quot;fixedquot; threads...the nut has fallen off and is most likely rattling around inside your guitar or maybe made its way to a pickup magnet.

You will have to remove the pickguard and locate the screw or a replacement to fix it, all the toothpicks you can shove in that hole aint gonna fix this one.

Unless he edited it after your post, he specified wood

Take a toothpick and put a dab of glue on it, then install pickguard and screw while the glue is wet.

Trick question.....the pickguard is made out of wood.

Right?

Thanks guys, I'm bringing my guitar in for a setup while I go on vacation so I'll gte the guy to look at it for me.

Also, it was the bottom screw in holing in the selector switch.
