HNB Got the holes drilled for the strap locks and they are installed. No broken screws this time. I feel like I have screw shock. Every screw I put in a guitar today got my heart pumping out of fear of breaking. LOL Here is a picture with the strap locks on.DSC03171 by Hentai No Baka, on Flickr
HNB Success! The larger pilot holes made a HUGE difference. I barely had to put any effort in to screwing them down. Here are pics! If you weren't in this thread, you wouldn't even know the repair was there. 😀DSC03180 by Hentai No Baka, on FlickrDSC03179 by Hentai No Baka, on FlickrDSC03176 by Hentai No Baka, on FlickrDSC03174 by Hentai No Baka, on FlickrDSC03172 by Hentai No Baka, on Flickr
