I think it looks gorgoeus. However as well as the bridge sitting high it's also in the wrong place - they've had to wind the intonation screw right in on the bass side which looks wrong. Should have driled the hole 5mm back, and a bit on the treble side too. That's not design like the neck angle, it's just been badly measured and fitted.

Is the guitar in the orginal post a new-ish guitar or an old one? It seems to have an old bridge on it (the intonation seems to be set for a wound G string... or am I missing something?)
And it has the bridge in the right place and at the right height, which proves that the neck angle is also correct...

I just remembered i made a conscious choice to shift everything into the body slightly, shortening the traditional firebird design ever so slightly to help balance, and the long reach to the first fret - sacrificing a bit of access at the top end
I also prefer the pickup slightly further from the bridge for both structural and tonal reasons The pickup is still close to the original location on the body, bridge is slightly further back - but it all still looks right

This looks great - what overall size is it?
