Over on the Ensenada side, it is the same issue. An additional reason, maybe a trivial reason for some, that I like the Callaham vintage bridge is that the Callaham is an eighth inch wider, and covers the dreaded 'butt-crack' in all but the most badly aligned Tele bodies.

BTW, USACG bodies, despite being scrupulously accurate about the router hump and the area around the jack rout, do not provide you with any butt crack. Moreover, the ferrule holes aren't misaligned like they're supposed to be.
