Not sure and you may be right as I didn't even know they made them in Mexico now . I have had some Mexican instruments and they definitely do things differently but not sure if it pertains to the spacing , it all comes down to production costs so they may just use the standard Mexican rout and call it a Geddy Lee, but I really can't be sure so don't quote me...I think you can check it when you get the body and return it ...their policy clearly states refunds but buyer pays shipping. I would assume that mean's BOTH directions and that part of it kinda sucksI thought that Geddy Lee basses are all along supposed to be 70's spacing?
