Indeed. Sad day. 😒
"masking tape and supeglue" ???? What trickery is this? 😉
What sort of waste materials are you thinking about @murtazahashwani? Offcuts of wood, or scrap wood, or recycling materials, or .... what else?
Did the string holes match up? Well, they're 3.175mm diameter and I couldn't get a 3mm drill bit through from front-to-back. 🙁 But, I could...

Hi Murtaza and welcome to this friendly little corner of the big WWW. What stage at you at with guitar building?
#thats-not-fair $13 a neck?? That's a steal.
