Hi,
I'm customising my MIJ Strat that already has a Floyd Rose and an SSH arrangement and one vol and one tone pot.
I'm trying to get it ready for me next gig which is 7 July.
I'm going to a HSH config with a vol, a push/pull tone (coil tap) and a blender pot. I've ordered a new pickguard off ebay that seems very reasonable.
However, I've realised that the cut out is for a trad bridge and not a floyd rose. The only pickguards I can see online ready cut for a floyd rose are from Warmouth, $22 but nearly $40 shipping.....that's just silly plus it seems I'll be hit by a brokerage fee of at least another $20 at this end.
I can see from the web the difference in the cut out between the two bridge types. The question is, what is the best way to cut this myself? I'm reasonably handy, but I don't have any specialist tools such as a router.....
Thanks in advance,
Andy
