masterpuppets Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I installed a Kahler 2220C flat mount tremelo on the body of my Warmoth guitar.They made the route for the spring cavity but I had to drill the screw mounting holes myself.Well it looks like I was off slightly.The measurement from nut to center of front screw holes is 25-1/4" and it mounts in the same place as a standard strat trem.Becuase of this my intonation is still sharp with the saddles all the way back on a few strings.I need to know what I should use to fill the old holes.Would bondo work? What will harden enough for me to re-drill without breaking into the older holes? And what would be the safest method of drilling new holes without a drill press? Is there something I can use to stabilize an electric drill or should I just find someone with a press? Thank you to all in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibanez_crazy Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 You can drill the holes out to say 1/4 inch, then glue in some 1/4 in dowel rod, trim and sand flat, and redrill so long as the body will be painted. As far as drilling straight, I have used a buble level ruberbanded to my drill to aid in drilling straight, but not to stabilize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
