Mikey R Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi Al, Could you tell us how you routed out the Jazz pickup? Did you square off the corners with a chisel? Im just wondering if I need to buy a new router bit for those pesky singlecoils. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers![/quote] My sneaky solution is to drill the four corners with a 4mm drill in the bench drill, stop the router bit about 1/8" short of the corners and clean out the the residue with a sharp chisel. Saves the needle file bit and gives a professional rounded corner with a much tighter radius than the router bit alone Edited June 16, 2011 by JPJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
