Baritone Strat HSS Soild Korina body Ebony on Wenge neck

[Rich]

Pretty happy with the wood so far.
What should I do about that bridge plate mounting hole situation though? Dowel and re drill?

Contact Warmoth Directly, confirm that the bridge route you ordered matches up with your bridge on hand.
If so, and it's Warmoth's bad, they're pretty accommodating, and it goes even further to say, how you bring it to their attention goes a long way.

Gentlemanly conduct usually yields a gentlemanly outcome.

I did call them. Spoke to a very nice dude. Basically the issue is I'm wanting a Gold American Standard flat mount bridge, which Fender apparently made very few of. The guy at warmoth was actually pretty optimistic about the fact that the mounting holes matched as well as they did with the bridge I bought. He suggested that unless I went with the actual fender American standard bridge (chrome) I'd have to dowel and re drill a smidge. No biggie really. This body and neck are really nice and I have all the time in the world

Fortunately, the center one lines up and that's the biggest hurdle.  The other holes can be dowelled/redrilled, with the bridge plate itself concealling it.

Very beautiful body, gonna be a killer Bari-Strat when you're done with it.

Beautiful grain on that body! I'm always disappointed to see pretty wood on a pickguarded-body, but it looks like you've got the gorgeous part free & clear.

Thanks! Almost made me want to go clear pick guard lol. But the black guard with gold trimmings looked super super classy when I mocked everything up together. Black lets the wood really pop!
