Not vintage spec, but typical of Chinese machining. So long as your pickup fits in and the bridge covers it you'll be fine.

Oh. I thought this was UK built. I am not sure the pup will fit as it seems to be a few mm too narrow. This is definitely the last time I buy cheap necks and bodies....Triggers broom same guitar just different neck and body. I have a router so may need to try and correct if I can get a template

Neck pickup cavity looks a tad rough too. I’d imagine there wasn’t a template used in either case

To be fair it was an assumption as the statement was something like "one we have made" and from a UK person. Really is my bad for coming to the conclusion. Trying to work out if I can open it up with a template and drill bits. I have a router but not sure about the bits I have. I've done the odd kitchen
