ledhead420 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I am going to be refinishing a new body that will not have any screw holes. I have all the parts thats I need I just need to know how I would go about drilling screw holes such as the pickup rings, cavity screw holes, neck screws. What can I do to get the holes in the right spot and insure that my body stays safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 drill after you finish, with some low-tack (painters, good quality, 3M) masking tape at the hole locations. Drill through with a sharp, new bit, preferably brad point, and I've seen some people reccomend running the drill backwards to avoid chipping, although I've always had good luck with the masking tape (prevents chipping, and lets you mark your hole locations with a pencil, easily).

Racer X Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 use the associated hardware as a way of marking the hole locations, first. That's what you are trying to mount, you it to your advantage. It's not rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
