I pointed this out to Adam after there were a few complaints during builds, and I think they got removed from sale. What was worrying was the number of people who bough one and didn't complain. They can't all have made custom baritone bodies for them!
I wasn’t actually aware of that Simon, so I probably should have checked first. Thank you for pointing it out.
However, being the FrankenLab, it really doesn’t make a huge difference either way. I will see what turns up and plan accordingly. There are a number of body blanks lurking behind Igor’s specimen jars so it shouldn’t be an issue. 😁🤔
