  • 9V battery slot built into control cavity

    Is it possible to buy these, or do I just make my own? Just bought a pair of EMG's and am wondering which is the tool to cut the cover without snapping it.

            Dave (fretsonthenet) will just sell you the battery box alone, but I am curious what cutting tool would you need to use to cut out the area for the box on those metal control plates.

                I have all the materials I need, so I don't want to purchase one. If anyone knows what you'd use to make the cutout on the metal backplate that would be great.

                  A Dremel with a cut-off wheel would do the job nicely.

                    Correction: A Dremel with a handful of cutoff wheels

                    Dave may be using a die with a punch - never owned one of those plates myself so I can't say for sure. Or maybe he's using a cutting wheel or saw. Drilling a pilot hole and hitting it with a router? I dunno. It's his business, not mine

                      He's not got back to me yet. I still have the option of getting a local shop to do it.

                        did you contact him via pm or his website?
                        I didn't see him in the forums for half a year or something...

                          I pm'd him. I only got my PC at home sorted out yesterday and I've been asleep.
