Yes but "subtly very different" to quote the blurb.

So this arrived - looks great except for one thing...the bridge and string holes have been drilled incorrectly. 5mm too close to the neck pocket. Naturally I have opened a dispute. The plan B could be a nice B5. Feckers. Pretty cross actually.

Shit you don't need, eh. Hope it gets sorted smoothly.

Yeah I had incorrectly sized routs on a body... was a $60 body from GFS though so complaining felt churlish.

If the postage is a pain... I wonder if they would refund you say $100, and you could keep the body and just redrill the string holes (or *gasp* top loading bridge?) Not a perfect solution but might help season the shit sandwich somewhat.

Yeah, on a cheap body I totally would have done this! I lose $250 due to postage and taxes, but I still get a good chunk back....and I think I can buy better too (as in, get the same quality for less). The $250 lesson is do not buy a body from an unknown custom shop. They knew I reckon, the cnuts.

To be fair, they were probably far too busy putting the nail holes and fauxjo on it to be bothered measuring.
