What an adventure, eh?
One of the things that people told me, that I didn't really pay attention to until I "rediscovered" it on my own, is that really thick layers of lacquer, the kind that we are making with these sparklefinish guitars, will chip if you look at it sideways.
When opening up holes with a drill or reamer, I have been trying to run the things in reverse to try to minimize the chances of chipage.
Your project looks really good.
