My final mod is complete! Just finished installing my battery box. I made a test cutout into a piece of wood with my Dremel 300 in its workstation with a makeshift fence to make sure my cuts would be straight and my dimensions correct, then I screwed the cover onto the wood and simply made the same cuts but very slowly so the plastic wouldn't melt. It came out nice. The workstation acted like a router so I could move the cover rather than the Dremel. Easy projects like this are a blast. It sure beats routing out the guitar's body.
