Luthier Tips #3: Marking and Drilling Holes for Neck Screws + Ferrules

Here we will look at how to mark and drill the thru-holes and countersunk holes that I use in my guitar builds, all while maintaining an accurate centerline. Next, we will look at how to use a hardtail bridge as a template for thru-drilling two holes: one from the top to allow the strings to be loaded from the back of the body, and one from the bottom to accept the ferrules.
