That looks better though it might have been better to add to the existing thread as that one already exists  and it would provide continuity.

Again I would look to not get the holes drilled for tone and tone but drill them yourself or get someone to do it for you.

Take a look in the showcase at this body to see how tone and tone is positioned.

I agree with Stratamania. I’m doing a Soloist as well, and I didn’t like where they put the potholes, so I just let them do the 5 way blade slot and two screw holes for it, since that takes a little more finesse, but that control cavity is HUGE, it’s GINORMOUS, so you’ll have plenty of room to put your controls exactly where you want them.

…unless the tone/tone locations already are exactly where you want them, in which case, you’re all set.

And I could be incorrect on this, but I’m pretty sure if you tell them not to drill those holes, it’s not going to delay anything, especially this early into the build.
