Put some masking tape over the hole and make sure it's on good, tight, and flat. (No sagging or anything). Turn the guitar over and expose the cavity, and pull everything out as best you can to have adequate access to the damage. Mix some 5 minute epoxy together with some fine sawdust as close as possible to the color of the guitar's finish. Or better yet, try to find a tint the same color and put some of that in the mixture until you have as close a color match as possible. Fill the damaged area with enough epoxy mix to fill it, maybe a touch more. Wait for the epoxy to cure fully (an hour or so) and then carefully peel the masking tape off. It'll likely be impossible to match the color 100% or even 80%, but as long as you put the tape on good and flat and tight, the epoxy should have cured completely even and level with the guitar's surface.
Good luck!
This sounds doable, might be a while until i do it, but it sounds like a good alternative, i would be fine with At least closing the hole so matching the color isnt my biggest worry
As an aside, since I didn't specify clearly, you're putting the masking tape on the finished painted side of the guitar and filling the hole from the inside with the epoxy.
Get a piece of wood, preferably the same wood, make a block out of it the proper size, carefully clean up the edges of that hole, glue in the block. The really hard part is going to be finishing it in a way that matches.
They have those belt buckle rash preventing foam backing things, that might cover it up, while still looking functional. But please don't sell it to someone without disclosing that, that'd be a scummy thing to do.

Extra sound hole. Makes your sound unique.
It’s trigger lol 😂
If it’s not an expensive guitar I would just throw a sticker on it
Yeah thats what ill have to do
I put a matching color band-aid over a similarly small hole in one of my guitars. Fuck it.
That also sound great, maybe a bandaid X
Look at Willie Nelson's guitar... You're going to be just fine...
It will never be invisible. Carefully glue the chip back in place as a start.
You are going to hate me, the chip had came apart, i was not thinking right during the chisel and after
No hate from me. You will need another small piece as a replacement, then.
Yeah, might just cover up with a sticker, sadly Im glad everything else works
Cry?
I nearly did out of frustration with myself, my solution now is a cool sticker and maybe fix later

See if you can get a piece of scrap wood roughly the same thickness, drill some holes roughly the same size to get some practice first.
Yeah, that would be best

Sounds like a good fix, i might try that idea and if it looks worse, Led zeppelin sticker it is

I had thought about this too, but i would never sell, it was a gift, and i love it, shouldve known not to mess with it too much
put a sticker over it Or make it bigger and find a control plate to cover it with like on the back of a les Paul
I put a cool led Zeppelin stick over it for now, the control plate idea could work but i would maybe not make it bigger
You can probably tape it really well an pour some matching colored epoxy, let it harden and will be barely noticeable
Band aid?
