One of the reasons I opted for this kit over some of the cheaper eBay alternatives is because the body doesn't come pre-drilled which then offers the flexibility of using which ever style bridge you wish to. After careful consideration we decided to stick with the traditional tune-o-matic option that was included in the kit.
So after carefully lining up the template included, we marked out drilling points and made a start...
Being a clumsy oaf I managed to catch the body on the drill bit as I lifted it out. This gouged a nasty little hole in flamed maple veneer.
After a bit of careful grinding out to enlarge the hole we glued in some of the maple drill dust and then sanded it flat. So we now have a stunning flame top with a small 'knot' in it...
