I have a cheap (offshore) HSH Kramer Striker, made a few years ago after Gibson acquired the name and marketed them through MusicYo. The pickups were poorly mounted and are not square with the neck or bridge, etc. The humbuckers are ring mounted; the single coil pickup is screwed into the body. The guitar still has a good finish that I’d like to preserve, so I’d like to keep drilling and repairs, etc. to a minimum
I’d like to re-drill the holes in the correct (or as close as possible) position. Without really oversizing the holes, I assume that doweling them is out, which would be fine as I question my ability to do that type of work cleanly and properly.
Is there any filler or other method that will finish up hard enough to being drilled, should the new holes overlap the existing holes? This is mostly a cosmetic issue but I would like to make it right.
Thanks.
