Yes, done that many times before. But you'll then need to cut the slot again.
I wired the LEDs today:
Now need to find how to customise the trem cavity cover to accommodate the controller...

Guitar you have built Hmm? Play it you will, Yes? Strong you are with the Force, great is your power!
I had an R2 quote, but can't use that kind of language as it was completely bleeped out by the film censors.
FrankenLab:
Turning tone wood into expensive sawdust since 2016!
Got the controller sorted.
I shortened the trem plate by 10mm or so as it was too long and sitting on the Star Wars logo at the back, rounded the edges off and drilled 2 new screw holes, then drilled a 25mm hole in the middle:
And glued the round controller in place. All soldered and tested now:
Just have to screw in place and take photos!
