What is the easiest way to drill new holes?

Drilling new holes for a different pickguard or parts on your guitar can be a delicate process and should be approached with caution. Here are some steps to help you drill new holes for the Fender Locking Strat/Tele TM RH: 1. Mark the Hole Locations: Start by marking the exact locations where you want to drill the new holes. Ensure that the new pickguard or part aligns correctly with the body of the guitar. 2. Remove the Old Pickguard or Part: If you haven't already, remove the old pickguard or part, so you have access to the body of the guitar. 3. Choose the Right Drill Bit: Select the appropriate drill bit size for the new holes. It should be slightly smaller in diameter than the screws or bolts you plan to use to secure the new part. 4. Use a Depth Stop: To avoid drilling too deeply, consider using a depth stop on your drill bit. This will prevent you from damaging the guitar's body. 5. Drill Carefully: Slowly and gently drill the new holes in the marked locations. Be extremely cautious, and do not apply excessive pressure. The goal is to create clean, precise holes. 6. Install the New Part: Once the new holes are drilled, you can attach the Fender Locking Strat/Tele TM RH or the new pickguard using the appropriate screws or bolts. 7. Double-Check Alignment: Ensure that the new part is correctly aligned and that everything looks and fits as it should. Please note that modifying your guitar in this way may void any warranties, and if you are uncomfortable with the process, it's a good idea to seek professional help from a luthier or guitar technician who has experience with guitar modifications. Drilling holes in your guitar can have a permanent impact, so it's important to be confident in your skills or seek expert assistance to avoid any costly mistakes or damage to your instrument.
