The good news is that the recessed area is completely filled by the pickup cover so it will be an easy task to score the wood properly. I'll take a few before & after pics when I dive in. Believe me, I will work slowly and carefully. I just bought this gorgeous Guild and do not want to do it any harm! The fact that it is a full hollow body with no internal baffling or support braces means I do not want to use a mallet at all, I am hoping that a sharp chisel will do the trick. If I find that I need a mallet then light taps will be my approach.

Good luck and be patient, you will love the results of a job well done. I used to work at Guild in Westerly RI in the late 1980's, what year is that one?
