You'll have to re-locate them, this is not a reversible mod. But the example brian posted shows the old holes filled so you can get the idea. You could always just omit controls if you don't want to drill the body.

What do you think of the Stetsbar Musikron? do you think that would be better/easier for this guitar? I never heard of them before reading about them on here in another topic a few days ago. I don't know how much they cost but there is one on ebay starting at $99.00. Looks to me like a great invention, I had a "Les Trem" that I bought from Stew-mac a few years ago, wasn't too bad but the design of the stetsbar seems much better.

 

I unfortunately can't use a stestbar without making modifications on my LP jr. or I would seriously think of bidding on one.

On my project Geni, I moved the input Jack to the side (a better location IMO) and haven't relocated the coil split switch yet. There's plenty of room though.

Now that the weather is better, I will take another shot at the lacquer. My first two attempts were not satisfactory.

PS: not sure how heavy a Stetsbar is, but anything lighter than a Bigsby would be good. A Geni is already a 10 lb. + guitar, and the Bigs will make it even more of a boat anchor.
