    No.

    Don't want a painted face, so don't want a painted back. Just want to use a dimple black decal and keep the neck all clear coat. I'll check the holes against the large Hipshots just to make sure they get covered up (they probably won't align perfectly) and order two more large tuners and a Hipshot bridge from the same source.

    Now, do I stick with top loading or go string-through?

    I thought about this when I saw this jig.

    Overkill for sure, but a simplified version might still be a way of getting really small dowels that fit the pilot screw holds for the tuners.
