Step 3Remove the Buttons and Measure
The next few steps go over the process of taking out the buttons, filling in the holes with wood, then installing and wiring the frets. If you're using a new neck, feel free to ignore these steps and jump to step 6.
Unscrew the plastic pieces that hold all the buttons. You'll probably have to use a small screwdriver to gently pry them out of their holes. Next, using a piece of paper or your favorite way of measuring things, make an outline of the hole in the neck where the button used to be. I used a small scrap of paper, pushing it into the corners of the hole with my fingernail, to wind up with a piece of paper folded into the outline of the hole.
Trace the shape of this hole onto the block of wood you'll be using to fill in the hole.
