This what I did with the last one.

Whoa, thanks for sharing all the “during” pics too! Turned out fabulous! @joergkutter, I change my vote now.

custom micro-pickguard that would look like a ring for the neck pickup

Yes, that is kinda what I am leaning to right now… might have to #D print one myself, such that it can fit the routed cavity snuggly without requiring screws…

adding screws would not be a big issue

requiring screws

Neodym magnets!

@Whying_Dutchman

i’m thinking about using small neodym magnets for the battery cover on the backside, just for fun.

I did that. Just to see if I could. It’s not pretty, but it works. And now I don’t have to remove screws to take the cover off.

Shouldn’t it be invisible?

Had I used a better method to fill the old screw holes it would be.

I am planning for 3-4mm round neodym magnets and use my new dremel to make the old screw holes fit…
