New CE 24 Satin but the bridge seems off

[TheBrett1234]

Just bought a new CE 24 Satin. I could be going crazy but it seems like the tremolo posts are not aligned properly. For example the low E post seems closer to the pick up ring then the high E. When I check the block of the bridge it seems like the strings holes were machined sloppy.

This is my first PRS and I could be over thinking things but has anyone else have a had a similar experience. I wanted to get some feedback before I reach out to the dealer or PRS.

Am I new on this forum. Can pics be directly uploaded or do they need to be hosted 3rd party?
Thanks for the reply BTW

No problem. You need to use a host like photobucket and paste the URL.

Its possible someone had it before you, returned it and screwed with the bridge??

It was hard to get an image that was straight on but seems like on the block the low E is offset and on the front of the guitar it seems like the posts are not parallel. Like the high E post is a little further back then the low E.
Everything seems to playing fine but it seems off to me.
Hopefully the pics help

If I am correct it seems like a poorly made bridge. I know the CE is an import bridge. It is more of a factory drilling or bridge casting issue.

I think the hole just looks off because of the curve of the metal at the end. Even if it was off the line of the others, it would only mean the string comes up out of the bridge a little farther back which would actually be a good thing since the intonation usually sets that saddle farther back. On the top side the bridge may be misaligned with the pup, but if so it's really close. Maybe 1mm or so. If it didn't impede anything I'd not worry about it. If you can't, return it and get another.
