Router. Simplest, cleanest way I know of.

Look for a drill guide that will stop the bit before it aerates the back of the guitar. Even a bit of PVC pipe surrounding the bit might work if cut to the right length. There is some real danger here if you are drilling deep into the guitar body! Good luck with putting her on a diet.

Dr. Suess on the low hangers. Who knew?

Walk like an Egyptian Ned!

Man I wish that Warmoth was still able to produce those!

Loved the showcase body with neck listed on the website. But then I caught the sticker price and got woozy and a bit delirious. Clicked off the page and my eyes were able to re-focus at last. I have apparently hit stagflation.

But it appears to be upside down....

Police puns really Sting....

About all of the big pickup manufacturers have wiring diagrams online, if they don't have what you need google 'guitar electronics' and you should get lots of responses.

I went a different route with my canary neck and used pure Tung oil on it. 2 coats was all it took if I remember correctly and it is hands down my favorite guitar neck.

Try tuning down 1/2 to 1 full step and see if that helps. I have one that sounds bad at standard tuning but great 1/2 step down. Also not sure if the pickguard warping up off the body in your picture could have anything to do with it. Just an observation. Good luck!

Looks like a router burn to me. Also looks like the string will sit about on top of it making it less noticeable. Pure Tung oil darkens roasted Maple and makes it feel less dry to the touch!

I think that is sold at the Camping World in New Delhi. One of the big diesel pusher types.

Good for cruisin' in the spring and fall! I know what the thread title was, but it's got an American heart anyway!

From my experience it will feel a bit less 'dry' than the roasted maple. I ended up putting a pure tung oil finish on both anyway.
