Luckily you could do that. When preparing my body for it's 3rd neck, I was able to correct a problem I'd made fitting the pocket for the first neck. My router jig slipped and I'd carved a bit into one side that I didn't mean to.

If you need to you can fit and glue in some replacement wood, then re-route and you'd never know. Save all your scraps! :)

Looking pretty good so far.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
