Hey,
I am new to this board and working on my frist project. It is a bolt-on neck, carved-top baritone...anyhow, I am getting near the end and I have a question that I cannot seem to find the answer to in any book or online.
I am ready to create the hole for a gibson-style three-way pickup selector...only, the way the top is carved it seems like the selector will not sit flush to the surface inside the control cavity if it the hole is drilled such that the selector sits flush on the top of the guitar. What is normally done about this? Does my question make sense...it is a bit hard to describe.
My thoughts were to maybe sand the inside of the cavity where the selector will sit until the contour matches the top's contour, then the selector should mount flush on both sides. Somebody help a brother out and let me know if I am insane or not.
Cheers.
