Default Help with UNINSTALLING end pin jack on Taylor and Martin...

Hi Guys,

For years I've used Sunrise soundhole pickups in my two favorite guitars: my Taylor 814 and my Martin 000-28HD. Installed one of those big brass end pins that you can plug a 1/4" phone plug into in each one.

Recently I switched to Takamines for onstage work and I removed the Sunrise pickups from my Taylor and Martin...but I still have the oversize end pin installed and I want to remove them and restore both guitars to thier original non-electric
condition and look.

So what do I do? Has anyone devised an attractive way of filling the oversize end pin hole and then installing the original end pins?

I was thinking I could plug them with a rosewood or ebony dowel (if I could find one!) and then redrill the hole in that. Some of the dowel would show...so it'd need to look nice.

Any ideas?

Thanks! Lew
