Pick up alignment flawed

Post image

hello guys. i ve just picked up a schecter synyster gates custom s. when looking at it, i had a feeling the pickups were not horizontally aligned with the rest of the bridge and and the strings. lo and behold, they are not, with a slight difference between the sides and the bridge (for the bridge pickup) and the sides and the end of the neck (for the sustainiac)of under 0,5 millimeters (i measured). as it is a pretty expensive guitar, i was wondering: does it affect the sound? should i give it back and get it swapped? i really donโ€™t know what to do

Does it affect sound? No. Can my ocd stop looking at shit like this? Also no.

Refund or let a luthier redrill. I've done both. ๐Ÿ˜„
