Post subject: Acoustasonic Strat with lifted bridge issue

I recently purchased an Acoustasonic Strat from MW and it seemed to have one side of the bridge slightly lifted from the body of the guitar. I believed this to be a manufacturing error and I returned the guitar to MW for an exchange.

When I received the replacement guitar it also has the same apparent problem of the bridge lifting from the body of the guitar and in the exact same location as the previous guitar.

The lifting occurs at the rear of the bridge, just to the left of the #6 E string peg and behind the tone control knob.

Is this a manufacturing error or a design feature?

It's no design feature. Usually you don't see bridge lifting in 6 strting, mostly 12 strings have that problem. When you see it on a 6 string it's usually from environmental reasons like humidity or rapid temp changes.

Either the guitar has poor bracing design or there's a manufacturing problem.
Thats my guess.
