    Seriously though, I'm hearing what you're saying, and a lot of guys just putting a kit together probably wouldn't even notice. But if you're one of those who like to sweat the details (as you obviously are), something like tuner holes in the wrong spots can get a little old when it happens over and over again.
    We're not talking about trying to split atoms here, I don't reckon there's any excuse for trying to get a few holes drilled in the right place.
    Is it really that much to ask??
    this is true. as stan says, would be better for the factory to not bother drilling the headstocks if theyre not gonna do it properly-people are pulling some crazy mods out of the bag on these kits, so drilling some holes should not be beyond them (especially if theyre having to plug and re-drill them).

    although i know it would suck for inventory stocking, but maybe itd be possible to get some of the more common kits available without any drilling in the headstockc,and the body where the neck screws on (for the F type kits) cos the holes on my tele were pretty wonky too.

    Best tube screamer clone for the price. Great little overdrive.
