The only problem is really get the right spot:line6man said:If you have a router and an F hole template, it's a 15 minute job.
However, you need to be aware of what's underneath the laminate top. You will probably just expose the chambering, and it will look terrible unless you hollow out the core.

Oh! That's a piece of cake then. Drill a hole in the top, and then use a straight bit with a bearing to follow the contour of the F hole. You don't even need a template.
Will not work as on a Tele:PaulXerxen (nexrex) said:That is pretty cool. I am very proficient with power tools. Do you foresee any complications if I was to do that with a chambered carved top LP?
Oh yeah, it's possible.. But I'd be much more worried in tearing the top... The chambering would be hidden, if any ops happens...PaulXerxen (nexrex) said:No problem with me doing it. I was really more worried that I would get some weird tear outs happening in the chambering walls if I wasn't careful. Anyway, it was just an idea for now.
