Was just wondering if it is possible to route a battery box on the back of a finished guitar without ruining the paint job or wood ?? Somebody told me it is not recommended to route a battery box in a finished guitar but I really need them as I want to install active midboosts.
I have a purple quilt top ibanez and a neon pink ibanez and I'd like a 9v battery box routed in the back for easy battery access. 1 doesnt have a pickguard so I need some sort of routing done. I really don't want to ruin the paint or basswood body, even if it is only the back. Is it something a luthier could do easily or would they shy away from doing this on a finished guitar ??
p.s I use my tremolo alot so I wont be using a trem-block to fit the battery in the trem spring cavity. An extra battery box routing is the only option for me.
