Just carve a similar chip on the top to make it symmetrical looking so it looks like it was done on purpose. Daub a bit of turquoise paint into it for flair.

I was thinking about making a small "pick guard" to put around the pickup to cover the hole that the pickup sits in. I have some pick guard material to use for that.
What color pickguard? If you had any wood laminate laying around it would be a cool accent to have a stained wood pickguard on the birdseye.

The pickguard material that I have is black. It doesn't thrill me much, but it's certainly better than white on this guitar. I have to look in my pile of assorted wood that I have to see if I have any really nice thin hardwood plywood. That might be an interesting way to go with a pickup cover. I would use the same material for the cover plate for the volume and tone controls. I had wanted to use a dual pot with coaxial controls, but I only found one pot like that, and it's a big one, so I'm going to use 2 mini control pots instead. I don't have to make the hole in the body as deep for the mini pots.
