I know about trying to straigten neck alignment, but this one looks like a bigger problem than that.

Maybe you could contact the seller and see if he is willing to attempt the neck shift maneuver to see if anything changes.

The high E string doesn't even come close to lining up with the pickup pole pieces & is very close to the edge of the neck. Can the Saddlelock bridge be repositioned (adjusted) to correct this? I know about trying to straigten neck alignment, but this one looks like a bigger problem than that. Advise?
Thanks!

The nut is aligned perfectly and if you zoom in on the last photo the alignment looks pretty normal. The 1 st picture will look like that the way the picture was taken.

The Saddle-Lock bridge is not position adjustable.
Here are a couple of photos to illustrate why (note the foot protusion at the bottom of the bridge):
I agree with suave eddie and Darwin that it probably just needs the neck re-alignment per the
String alignment issues and a simple cure post. Picture shot angles can be misleading.
Hope this helps.

Well, I mentioned the alignment issue to the seller & he says he didn't notice the misalignment until I mentioned it..

So the seller does acknowledge the alignment issue, and it is not an illusion due to photography angles?
Is he willing to try to shift it to see if that will correct it?
