Dress up your trem cavity!

Here is a quick and easy way to dress up that freshly-painted but ugly trem cavity or how to protect an existing one from harm if you're into serious pull-ups on the trem bar!

Grab a piece of paper and a pencil. Hold the paper securely over your trem cavity and rub the outline of your tremolo cavity using the side of the pencil lead. A softer pencil is safer than a harder lead.

Place your image over a piece of self adhesive felt. If you prefer the more "factory" look you can use a large piece of inner tube tire repair rubber.

Using scissors cut out your piece following the lines you created when you made your image. It's better to stray outside the lines than into them!

Place your cutout into the cavity to make sure it fits correctly. If it doesn't, remove it and trim the edge where it is bound up.

While it is in the cavity, flip your body over and mark along the edge where you need to trim off the excess with a pencil.

Grab your scissors and follow the line you just created....

Peel and stick - it's that simple!
