Picked this rad baby up last month brand new and man is she a beauty! loving the translucent purple! I am having one issue with it though and it may be making or breaking this guitar for me. The nut seems to be offset and not centered correctly, it is too far over on the bass side, you can see the natural wood where it should be covering, and on the treble side, it is far over the neck, i will post pictures of what i mean. This wouldnt be too terrible if it wasn't causing the high e to have no room on the fretboard, and have it constantly fall off of the fretboard. I am by no means a guitar tech, or a luthier of any kind, but ive played several other floyd rose equipped guitars and have not had this problem before, and its rather frustrating. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Eric, are you able see the pictures clearly? Is it supposed to be this way? I really love this guitar, but its so frustrating to play the high E!

I can see the space where it is off, and the wood is showing, mine is not like this, its perfectly straight, the strings should be evenly spaced from the edge of the fretboard on both sides. It looks like your high E is very close to the edge, contact Brian from sterling, he is on this forum, he will help you out, great customer service, A+ . Should be an easy fix.
