sonrisavertical Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) Question??? Fellow guitar lovers! I just order this bridge to install in a Strat copy body that originally had a six screws regular tremolo bridge. I need to know the proper drill bit I will need and the best way to do it with a hand held drill. I don't think I can get my hands in a press drill to do it (and even if I could, I wouldn't know how to use it). I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance to all Robert Justiniano Edited May 19, 2005 by sonrisavertical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Those studs sometimes have a small area around the bottom without grooves. Measure the diameter and get a bit the same size. If there is no flat area, then measure the large diameter and get a bit that is a few thousandths smaller. However, don't make the hole smaller than the depth of the grooves or you will have problems pressing them in. As for drilling with a hand drill, well I would advise against it. If you have to though, don't let the holes tilt towards the nut or the studs might pop out. -Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
