My drilling mishap
The new machine heads required a 10mm hole instead of the 8mm holes already in the guitar, so I had to drill them out. Not owning a drill press or vice, I had to do this by hand. I SHOULD have drilled through both ends so that the lacquer didn't break, but I just went straight through. This is what the headstock looked like after I sanded back the majority of the damage.
