I'm currently working on a double cutaway (solid body) project. It was a cheap body I bought. I need some suggestions on how to go about with the neck holes. The heel is cut away and so one of the holes has been drilled in closer. I have found a neck plate on amazon that might do the job but its being shipped from china and it says its going to take about a month to get here. I also have bushings that I could possibly use. Anybody have any other suggestions or any advice?

the bottom holes look wider in that pick, if so you have no choice but to use bushings....
something like this would work:

or you can just buy some neck screws & see if the local hardware store has some kind of ferrules...
