Re: Tailpiece Is Crooked
John, enlarging the photo from above shows the treble end of the bridge indeed not making contact. Good catch.
And as John says, the tailpiece should be mounted so the strings track down the center of the fingerboard. Moving it over a bit should be a trivial job; the tailpiece will cover the unused holes. Just in case, I'd look inside with a small mirror to be sure the endblock is located where it will support the tailpiece if you move it.
