I reckon I could still get some more mileage out of my STA-1M thread mate, I'm working on fixing my muck-up with the Floyd install on my strat, will post some more updates and pics once I get all I need together and organized.
I managed to buy some 12mm Oak doweling from the big green shed on Tuesday, so I could plug the holes i drilled in the strat body, problem is the dowel is a bit too big for the hole, I could have bought some 10mm dowel, but they had none in stock, so, either I have to sand the dowel down to size, or, I drill the holes to fit.
For the time being I'm leaving the Strat body alone till I can come back to it with a fresh mind.
