Forgot to say fill the bridge holes. Also was wondering what kind of replacement bridge are you using?
Sure, I knew that the holes needed filled either way... was just on the fence about a new veneer.
If there is a significant difference between the pickup locations (vintage to modern),
I may fill those, continue the veneer, and reroute the pickup cavities.
I have a couple (new) retro tail pieces and one two-point bridge.
Thanks
