Thanks Brendan, Wokks, Stan and Andy. The neighbour's kids may have learnt a few new words that day.
I'm planning on a dark stain so hopefully the patch wont show, if it does will cross that bridge when I get to it.
Asked Pabs to make a humbucker routing template (already had the P90 template from the last build). He asked if I was direct mounting the pup so he could adjust the template to suit. At the time was going to use a mounting ring, but the seed was planted and used his template as a master and made another with a smaller opening. If it doesn't work, can always go back to using a ring.
During and after
Stan, had the same thought about the control cavity and sketched out a shape that should work. After my mishap with the drill, wasn't going to try to freehand the rout, so made a couple of templates. Tried to line them up as close as possible to the cavity wall but both ended up a little off on the straight edge.
After those pics were taken, cleaned up that bump with a chisel and with a little sanding should not be noticeable.
The two templates
