Thanks.

My plan was/is:

• Position the bridge before finish and drill a couple of the holes through the top, using the bridge as a guide (they're all currently slightly undersize).
• Remove the bridge, mask its footprint (slightly inside the outline of the bridge), and finish the body.
• Use the two drilled holes in the top for alignment when gluing the bridge, then drill/ream all 6 holes out to finished size.

Does that sound OK?
