Opportunity to put some strings on to check orientation.

Neck stained with Feast Watson Golden Teak surplus from the Bronco Bass mod.
For the neck I'll use trusty ol' Tru-Oil, but the fretboard is being lacquered.
Marking out the first cut.
cheers, Mark.

It's always the deepest.
Neck looks a lovely colour.
Cheers, Simon.
This next section should be captioned 'my kingdom for a laser cutter'.
cheers, Mark.
Nice and neat for a hand cut hole! There are so many tools I'd love to make life easier, but there is also a lot you can do with a bit of care and patience.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Thanks, S.M. However, I've had a bit of practice doing scratchplate holes. The first attempt ended up like my headstock drilling work.
Cheers, Mark.
Moving along: Well the veneer arrived and I was so engrossed in the process that I failed to photograph key segments.
Applied the FW Golden Teak
Then the first coat of Tru-oil
Another case of character building (I'll do it better next time)
cheers, Mark.
String thru holes are definitely one of the hardest thing to get right and look right, or maybe try...
You could even inlay some veneer, like a piece of rosewood or maple 3mm headstock plate, if the plugs bug you too much.
