Drill bit to put 1mm holes in a toughened trem plate?

I’d be tempted to intonate the guitar, using ordinary saddles, to work out exactly where the holes should go.

Agreed.


Although, unless you're trying to drive a guitar synth with it so you really need hex piezo pickups, I'd be tempted to forget the whole thing and buy an acoustic simulator pedal. They don't sound any more shit than piezos really...

Ah, but does acoustic sim into fuzz sound as ace as piezos into fuzz?

I can try the acoustic sim into fuzz, but don't have anything piezo for comparison..

If its the Ghost saddles then each conductor has a barbed metal connector crimped to it. These push into the plastic housing of the quick connectors to creat the entire plug - many Tyco, Molex, JST and other connectors use this approach. You can use a pin to hold down the barbed part and carefully remove the wires from the connector. It's a three handed job but achievable. You just need to mark or remember the polarity for re-assembly. And I'd guess 1mm ...

It turns out that the hole has to be 2mm so that you can get the connectors through. The good news is that it’s a two handed job to remove the connectors from the plug. The plug has two plastic triggers, one for each connector, and you can lift these with a pin.
