Thanks,
The small amount that needs to be removed from the pickup rout, can be easily done w/ a Dremel or Rotary tool w/ a small drum sander..or a small curved scoop hand chisel...I'm sorry that I don't have a Photo w/ the Bridge plate removed, and the Guitar is now in Germany...but it's just a matter of chamfering the 6 holes rearward in the body, to line up w/ the 6 holes in the plate, to make string installation easy...Hope that Helps.
