<p>There is always a creative way to deal with a oopsie...a quick brainstorm on extra holes: psycho knob, active EQ, battery box, compartment for picks and/or slide, cell phone holder mount, flask holder, spare string compartment, resin or chalk drawer, set-list holder, ipod holder for drum-machine accompaniment, business card slot, 1/4in cable storage, eye-bolt for playing strap and/or wall hanging, ...</p>

<p>Excellent save Ted, and thanks for sharing the story. I'm only up to about 200 builds and should know better but I still make similar mistakes. Part of this, for me, comes from continuing to work when I'm tired but really want to get it done by a certain date. Figuring out a creative fix is a cool adventure in itself.</p>

<p>I have mixed feelings between 1) I am sorry about your problem and 2) and I am glad it is not just me! It looks like a cool guitar and a good save, but always remember to say - I meant to do that</p>

<p>I feel your pain. I drilled a hole in my last box for the jack, then realized it was in the wrong place. So I drill another. Nope. Wrong end of the box. So I drill another. Oh yay, that's it! Same solution as yours, cut some dowel plugs and glued them in. My third build. In another hobby I've done hundreds of builds and found a new way to make a mistake on just about every one. I won't give up up, just keep <strong>plugging</strong> away</p>
