Edge III Bridge Post Repair
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but my Edge III equipped RG 350 EX has had one post that was extremely crooked and I've dealt with it since 2005.. needless to say, the post itself is scarred up.
I just took on a project to refinish the body (blue stain plus dark blue/purple burst, woot) and decided to clean out the trem cavity. I noticed the bosses for the bridge posts are part of a single assembly that's screwed into the body. The peice of metal is extremely flimsy so I think it's more of a thing designed for simplicity in routing/drilling/installation because it doesn't have any structual integrity whatsoever.
So the point is I want to repair this crookedly drilled hole, but I have some questions.
My idea is to use a 3/8" wood dowel and some wood glue and fill the hole with that and try to re-drill it, however kind of seeking some advice as to best practice for repairing this crooked POS
Attached is a picture of said POS. Looks like they drilled a guide, then drilled the hole for the bridge insert and did that wrong, but the assembly just bent with it.
