Found the chuck key, and enlarged the holes to 6mm.

6mm dowels glued and hammered in to position.

I used a hacksaw to cut most of the dowel stubs off.

The renovator type tool made quick, but smoky, work of the two that were hard to reach with the hacksaw.

I Can't recommend these enough for that fiddly type of flush or near flush cut..

Edit: How did you go with the soft spot?
Nice job! Good fix.

Looks like you are well on the way to sorting this problem body out, well done.
I am learning, but it is down to you guys :) By the time I am finished this guitar, I should be able to handle any faults a solid body can throw at me, maybe :confused:Quote:

My drill press isn't big enough to reach the string through points, so this was my solution:

A little wonky on the back, but I can live with that:
