Strap locks installation

I suspect he meant drilling the schaller strap/pin button, in order to allow the original «vigier» screw to fit and be reused.... leaving untouched the guitar insert & screw

My last question about pickup changing - I promise!

I would have thought the Shawn Lane already sports 500K pots (both volume and tone) ... is it not like that?
