I've been slowly working on my DGM-3Q kit (an SG clone with 3 humbuckers) that I purchased in Dec. 2021. I was looking at the bridge and the mounting holes today and I noticed that the pre-drilled holes for the bridge are not centered on the pickups routes. As the pics show, when I line a straight edge up with the right side edges of the pickup routes, the straight edge overhangs the right side bridge mount hole by about 1mm. When I do the same on the left side, there's about 2.5mm between the straight edge and the hole. So, it seems the bridge is out of line by about 3.5mm. I imagine this is going to cause some problems down the line.

This is a quilted maple veneer top, so to plug and redrill these holes will just look terrible. Anybody have thoughts? Should I ask for a replacement body? I've done a good bit of shaping work to this one already, but I don't want to keep going if this is going to be a show stopper later.
