Eye Screw Question
I picked up some eye screws and clasps from the Vanhalenstore for my new EVH Relic Frankie. The eye hook screws are way bigger than the strap button screws. The question I have is, it seems like I will need to drill a bigger hole in the screw cavity to accommodate the eye screws. What is the best approach here?
Any details are greatly appreciated.

Yes you’ll have to drill larger holes. My bits are all over so I don’t know what size I used. I just found a slightly smaller bit than the eyebolt screw. Tape the bit so you don’t go too far into the body. Since the holes are there just use them as a guide. and go slow. Wasn’t that hard. I’m sure there’s a vid on YT as well as others here who know how to do it better than I do.
