This plank of wood serves as a filler/ insert provider. Of course, there is a need to saw the correct bits sizes. I've not used my hand saw for a long time but it's still good as ever.
The first bit were pasted here to block the 5-way selector slot.
This is how it looks like in front. The purpose of this is the provision of a base to hold the wood filler.
The S570 neck pickup pocket has a missing cavity wall since Ibanez revised the S-Series to hold a 24-fret neck. I plugged it with wooden pieces & the excess depth filled up with wood filler.
This is how it looks like with both cavities filled up. It need not be a neat job, the re-finish process will see the surface leveled & buffered. So everything looks good & on schedule :-)
