Location: Warren,Pa. | Things are going well. The hole for the preamp is PERFECT! All it took was patience...and a cordless dremel...and a little skill...and nerve.
I'm working on the dual output now. I have the 2 holes drilled for the jacks. Now I have to figure out how to find the placement of the 2 little screw holes. This may be a no-brainer for some of you, but I can't figure out how to do it. HELP please.

I got my initial marks for placement by holding it up to the holes on the inside and eyeballing the position relative to the hole, then I measured off the center of the XLR jack for the actual distance to where the screws go. Does that make any sense? |

Location: Warren,Pa. | It's hard to eyeball much. This is such a little guitar to work on.
But my wife just came home; she's the analytical/mathematical person in the home. I'll see if I can "give" this little problem to her. |
