HElP I screwed up

[nofenderetele]

ok so the guy takeing my order messed up and i only wanted tune o matic because i am installing bigsby on my order slip they have it marked this way
so after 10 long weeks of wating they drilled the holes for if i was using a wraparound so the holes are 2 big :sad:

i am willing to do or buy anything short of waiting for a retun from warmoth (already too many sleepless nights and unproductive days on ups tracking nonstop)
i am extreamly experienced in wood working having been a wood shop counseler at a summer camp so if plugging and re-drilling is the decision lack of skill is not a problem. 

FYI i plan on calling warmoth to negotiate some form of reimbursement (do you guys think theres a chance of this????)

If their paperwork does not match the product then there is definitely a case there. However, I'm going to guess (only a guess as I don't work for warmoth, but an educated guess because I do work in manufacturing) that the only thing you'll be offered is a rerun. If you choose not to accept it, that will be your decision and they probably don't do much else. If we did something wrong on a job we would happily rerun it, but the policy is pretty much that you can either use it or you can't.

Do you know what bridge it was actually drilled for? Someone here might know of a bridge that'll fir of you have some measurements.

i belive it was drilled for the standard warmoth size so warmoth did not screw up after all i was so concerned with the spacing between the posts not being standard i never thought there could be a differance in the size i assumed that is was standard  my bad :toothy11: well now i know 

i have placed an order for a locking roller bridge and will return the schaller  which has smaller than standard posts for anyone else considering them

Glad you got it sorted out. Must be a big relief.

Here's a little somehting for the next horrific moment!

This is probably no help now but I asked Warmoth if they could drill stud holes for a Bigsby bridge a few years ago and they said no. I ended up buying a cheapo tele body with no bridge routing and drilling for the studs myself. I bought a brand new drill bit the right size, measured very carefully, measured again and drilled. The studs fitted fine and the bridge and vibrato went on a treat.
