Proteus build thread (uber-tele)
#15
I got an idea slut.

Get a thick bit of wood for the control cavity say 10mm recess that in flush to the top then carve it. Drill the pot holes and a flat shelf around them for the knobs and ya sweet. After that you could sand down the flat side of the cover to compensate for the thin veneer.

Would be an easy mod and pretty damn unique too. You could even just get the templates laser cut out of mdf. It wouldn't cost much as its such a small job. Or just make them.

The only other thing is you will need is a plunge router and a template trim bit. But even if you took it to a cabinet maker or something it would be a 5min job.

Fuck thats a great idea imo. I am going to do it myself one day HA! Imagine a whole strat pickguard made of wood done like that? Be truly mental aii.
