Hi all, first timer. Recently bought a new player series tele and I noticed today that at the bottom basically where the scratch guard goes around the bridge, it is all warped and bent. See pics below.

She hasn't been in the sun or even in a overly hot room. So I am a bit confused. How does that happen? :cry:

She is also stock, I haven't done anything other than change her strings.

Thanks in advance for any advise.

IMO there could be some wires between pickguard and body wood.
Remove guard and look how are the wires.

Just few screws to remove and lift up the pickguard close to the string. No need to remove strings.

The leftmost screw in pic2 throws a hefty shadow, so that screw isn't fitting as it should.

The wire-under-the-pg or the misplaced-screw-hole are no biggies to fix by DIY. But since it's a "recently bought" guitar, you should be covered with the warranty, and thus checking with the shop might be a good option.
