SixString's Hollow VIP

Very very nice!


I like the inlay - I don't recall what you had in mind initially, but that simple design is quite attractive, and doesn't compete with the curves of that headstock.  I also like those Gotoh tuners with the soft curves all over.  I'm too cheap to buy 'em for myself, but I sure to admire them when I see them on other people's axes.

Polished up and ready to go...

Well, that sure the hell turned out purty.  Nice work!

Selector switch doesn't fit through the hole... Did I get the wrong size or fail to realize that I needed to drill the hole bigger?  The latter of which should have been done prior to finishing:/

Any suggestions?

Anyone? 

Am I drilling the hole bigger?

Hi,

I would not use a drill.  I'd use a reamer instead.  You can get them at almost any hardware store, but here's some from stumac:

Hmmm, good call, I actually already have a reamer.  I guess I was thinking drill b/c it's a fairly large diameter difference.  But reaming would definitely help prevent the finish cracking and chipping off something terrible...
