....... and sometimes puts 'em back in a better place!  Otherwise, ditto.

  I've never had a problem locating the guide rail, new or old, since it goes where it goes under the strings after stringing. It has to be located in reference to string spacing laterally, and to the edge of the belly rail fore and aft. I always plug the old holes in the belly rail as a matter of course, so catching the old holes is not an issue. In most cases where I've used the old guide rails which I almost always do, the drill bit finds the old holes through the new board almost every time since proper indexing throughout puts parts back in the right place.

  As long as we are locating things, how about some ideas on locating the damper guide rail. 
  My last job I pluged the holes, made a new rail and started over. I've frustrated myself trying to exactly locate the little number 8 screws, or whatever they are, drilling precisely in the right spot through the new soundboard, to catch the old hole.
