What color is the guitar? Black Pearl?

If the color is solid you should have no problem doing it yourself and getting a good result. If it is the sparkly BP then I would be satisfied with the following but the color won't match perfectly.

Materials:
super glue, razor blade, masking tape, wet-dry sandpaper, a power drill, and a buffing wheel drill bit

Put one drop at a time of the glue into/onto the hole and let each dry totally before adding another. Build this up over several applications into a mound that is higher than the rest of the finish.

Get a single edge razor blade and wrap each end with masking tape--say, three layers of tape over the sharp edge). Leave enough space in the middle of the blade to allow the glue mound to fit between the taped ends.

Slowly scrape the open edge of the blade over the mound to flatten it. The tape will keep the blade off of the rest of the finish. When you can't scrape any more, take off a layer of tape and go to it again.

When you are down to the last layer of tape put the blade aside and sand the area with the wet-dry sandpaper (wet the paper--spit, water, whatever).

Buff the sanded area with your power drill and little buffing wheel.
