Progress on my Warmoth strat. I am almost finished shielding the body and pickguard. I used copper foil shielding tape with conductive adhesive backing, from guitarelectronics.com. This stuff is pretty easy to work with. I use a continuity tester to make sure there’s a good connection between pieces.
I also tapped in the tremolo studs (it’s a Wilkinson VS-100 trem). I used a rubber mallet and it was a piece of cake. Before I put them in, I did use a center punch to ream out the edge a little bit (I didn’t want to crack or flake the finish). The center punch worked the finish away from the edge of the hole. Not what it was designed for, but it served my purposes just fine.
