Last week i get a stratocaster standart up-grade, the guitar is good but the first strings is kind of out of axis on the neck pickup which make this strings sounds less than the other ones, i´ve been cheking the pictures on the web and it seems to be a normal caracteristic,

Somebody have the same problem????

Yeah, that isn't usually a problem though. I can only suggest raising the pickup closer to the higher strings and trying to get a balance that works. If that doesn't do it, I might say that the problem is more likely in the pickup rather than the spacing. Usually, you can bend strings all day and never hear a drop-off in volume when the string travels between poles. There are things you can do about the off-axis look, but I can't imagine it would solve your problem with the sound.

Try lowering bridge saddle slightly if possible... or maybe different gauge strings with slightly heavier top strings? Also, differnt string types - e.g. try stainless steel strings instead of regular Nickel plated...
