At least the rout widening will be hidden by the bridge plate, so it doesn’t have to be perfect. But do put masking tape down and mark out the bridge plate edges. You do need to ensure you stay within the outline. It’s not easy as even on Fenders, the very top and bottom edges of pickup rout are often slightly visible (or at least hinted at where the finish starts to drop away).
