Yup, that part I expected though as the metal is 50% thicker.
If you look at your picture you can see the Bardens holes are wider spaced than those on your body (look in the low E string hole), and it's redirecting the E and A strings a tiny bit. Mine was aligned the other way that moved the B and E strings.
By clamping it into a drill press and increasing the hole diameters to 3.00 (like Fender) from 2.65, then beveling the holes I can get them to where they should be, just requires a bunch of measuring and division to get every one aligned. (Fussy me)
