Then to my dismay, I found that one of the holes was not positioned correctly. I could have avoided this with a simple measurement, as Mrs Caster pointed out in a nice way. So then I tried to remove the ferrules, and cracked the body. I decided to go back to square one, and destroyed the body further when extracting the ferrules.
Very disappointing. I ordered a replacement body from GFS (actually not quite a replacement, since I had to get Surf Green instead of Daphne Blue). I also ordered a plexiglass template from stewmac so I don't have to worry about this again.
The biggest worry I have is whether I really had to do the hockey stick thing. I can't quite face doing that again. Bleh.
It's pretty clear from the picture that these aren't lined up. I don't see what I didn't notice that before hammering in the ferrules. The holes came out pretty nicely though.
