Hole in Soundboard for Damp Chaser cord

[Richard Brekne]

I think the key point here is that its simply not necessary to go 
through the soundboard to begin with. If you do, you will no doubt risk 
having to defend yourself in the face some accusation that you ruined 
the soundboard. That kind of thing can easily be turned into far more of 
a headache then many of us want to deal with. For my part, I like to 
avoid such potential problems if I can..  I run power cord and watering 
tube up the right inside wall and out the baseboard top. If I have to I 
file a channel big enough to accept these. Works great, lasts a long 
time, and I risk nothing from the next guy.

Cheers
