Tight as fuck fit, but no neck holes. I’d take it to my luthier but he’s in self-isolation!
I was a little worried about fitting it myself too. Turned out to be okay. Right size hole, and make sure you use a depth marker on your drill bit. I used old strings as guides to make sure the top and bottom strings are well aligned.

Also - on this. The saddle and trem assembly hasn't been fitted yet either. Or pickups. No nut either. My plan was to collect the bits and take them to Tony Baxter to put together.

Did it turn up, Mike?

Nah, not yet. I'm presuming it will go thru customs before it gets to me so hopefully I'll get it next week.

Parcels seem to be getting through ok, I have had 2 deliveries from aliexpress this week and a 3rd is on its way.

Do I risk it and order some pickups from Stratosphere?

I wouldn't be ordering anything, especially from the US. Given we don't know how this thing will play out or how long it will take, the people you give your money to might be out of business before they ship.

I had a dhl (t-Rex acoustic soulmate) going to my work address. When they first called me to sort out a commercial invoice that wasn’t quite right I changed the address to home. Over the next week while calling about paperwork I gave my home address as answer to security question “where is this being delivered?”. Finally out for delivery on tracking day then, “can’t be delivered, premises closed”. Called up, they tried to deliver to work, will get that changed for tomorrow. Following day, item has been delivered. Signed for by one of the warehouse supervisors at work. (Over the road, not even same address.) By the time I read the notification, warehouse was closed and lockdown beginning that night!

On the plus side, none of my loved ones or myself are dead. So all good.

Just bought a Voodoo Labs Ground Control Pro from Cash Converters. Guess i'll find out if it's legit if we get out of lock down...

Going to need a thorough dose of waterblaster once it's released.
