The instrument came and it is well made, however the bridge was not cut and so it required sculpting and grooves cut. Also the pickup is below it, so a fair amount had to be removed. Luckily I have a template for fitting bridges, but normal violinists would most likely not have this. It is not the end of the world, but I hope the manufacturer spends just a bit extra trimming the bridge in the future. I have attached a picture of what I had to do to made this work...
