Yep, better the body and the template than my fingers. We’ll get around it, just means it will have to be a solid finish now.Originally Posted by Adam Barnes

Makes my primitive no router multiple drill holes method seem not so bad after all.
Too many RPM's was probably to blame. Suppose a solid colour on the edges will be able to hide bog job repair.

I know the router is the weapon of choice but in a situation where it has to be fine I use a multitool with a narrow cutting blade.
Disasters happen in slow motion and can be caught.
Just a thought for next time
A dremel type of thing you mean Dave?

Well I don’t like working with builders bog. But it appears to have done the trick.
Some careful work with files and sand paper and I may yet get away with it.
So a wee bit of fettling and some work on the faceplate for the preamp to go. Then a wiring loom build and test, and a shaping of the headstock.
This will give me a chance to test out my circuit and see what the balance between piezo and mag pup is like.
So stay tuned folks more FrankenLab madness to follow!

Okay so Igor got loose in the shop this afternoon and got slightly medieval with the existing pre amp face plate.
While this is not going to make the final cut, it does now become a fairly handy template for making a final one. It all fits up as it should with barely any room to spare.
The next job is to wire all of that electrickery together and see if it all works the way I want it to.
Athen we shall set about checking neck angle to saddle etc.
