Drilling holes in guitar

[VidaK]

Hi everyone. I know this is almost random... But...

Where can I drill 2mm holes into my guitar...? I need to fix my midi pickup quite urgently... But I dun own a drill... please help poor me..

if dont want to drill hole, just use something sharp, push it hard into the guitar body to cause an indent. After that, forced screw in the screw thats supposed to hold the midi pickup

and if dont that, just get a handdrill from home fix, 30 to 40 plus. Those kinda which can double up as auto screwdriver as well

and still, if dont want to punch hole or buy drill, get blue tack, use it to secure the midi pickup. It will hold it firmly in place. At least mine still do, after 4 years

borrow a drill from someone you know....?

careful when drilling holes. mark the depth required on the drill bit with some masking tape so that you won't overdrill.

this is esp important when you're drilling screw holes on the headstock or drilling large holes on the body.

the crew is a 2 mm screw, by drilling a hole, it will lossen the screw gripping power,

suggest no drilling.
