Got to make more holes in those beautiful pieces of wood.
Believe it or not, I found this drill bit on a rack in my local True-Value store. It is more than long enough to drill a hole from the neck pocket, through the neck pickup cavity, and into the control cavity.
Doing this makes me nervous. Even in Jr High School shop class, when I was drilling a hole through a bowling pin to make a lamp...wood varies so much in density that I am always afraid that it might not go exactly where I think it should go.
This time, everything went exactly like it should and the drill is peaking out into the control cavity at just the right spot.
My little $99 drill press just isn't big enough to drill the string through holes. I tried doing them by hand once. That was a painful experience.
So...it's off to the school shop. I think this drill press will work. Anybody recognize the color? It is a REAL piece of hardware...
