Hoping for some suggestions on how to best install a K&K mandolin twin pickup into a new build. I plan to do the install after the finish is sprayed, so will be starting with a 1/4” hole drilled in the end block (needed for my spraying handle)and a James tailpiece.
My thoughts were to enlarge the end block hole and the tailpiece opening to 15/32” for the pickup. I expect this will need to be done while the tailpiece is installed to assure alignment, using a stepped drill bit from 1/4” to 15/32” through the mounted TP, then finish with a straight 15/32” bit though the end block? Seem reasonable? What am I missing? A little worried about getting a clean hole on the tailpiece. Thanks!
