Is it a reasonable DIY mod idea to drill my own string holes on the backside of this Gotoh Tele style bridge to enable top-loading of the guitar strings? Or more tricky than it seems? I have a Dremel so I could smooth/de-bur the new holes to mitigate string breakage on the new holes.
I already own a set of 6 barrel style saddles that are designed to accomodate top loading, that could replace the stock saddles on this bridge. On these barrels, the string passes over to the right of the center point, so I'm thinking the new string holes should be located to the right (and lower) of each pre-existing saddle screw. Can anyone confirm? Any insights?
