Re: 'using a Dremel to route bridge humbucker'

Before you butcher your guitar...
Take a piece of stock (that's wood) and practice cutting with your Dremel.
have a "make shift" body and mount the pick up in it.

I've been a wood worker for many years and I can offer you some advice.
A: set up a jig first (Jig is a device so you only cut EXACTLY what you need
no more.)
B: If you use a Dremel or a router, NEVER cut all the way down on a single
pass.. you want to use multiple passes going a little deeper on each pass..
C: make sure you use a SHARP bit and you're using the right bit.

If for any reason you can not follow any of these 3 simple rules... pay the
$40 and have someone else do; unless you have $$ for a new body.

Good luck
