Three Point Bridge

The three-point bridge on my Epiphone Thunderbird is slightly crooked, I didn't notice it until today, here's a picture:

Is anyone else's as crooked as this?

Maybe for intonation ease. Does it play fine and intonate properly? If so, why worry?

+1 on this. Plus, there is no easy way of repositioning a 3-point bridge.

I think a 3 point would be the hardest to do because of the size of those big bolts. You'd have to plug the original holes and drill new ones and it's just a big mess and hassle.

Don't worry about it.

DO keep an eye on the rear studs.
If your action starts getting higher for no reason, they could be pulling up like this:

use Crazy Glue Gel to fix it being VERY careful not to get any in the threaded part of the inserts.

Wot he said.....not their finest engineering but quite serviceable. How's it sound?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
