I have used this jig myself several times. It takes out all the guessing work, and makes drilling those two pin tuners so quick and easy. I loved them so much I asked the maker of them G-Tech Guitar Works if I could sell them too, that's how much I love this tool for all my builds.
Instruction video coming soon.
