I just got my first Tele last weekend (American Std / 3 Color Sunburst). It is a fantastic guitar and I can't put it down (I'll save my effusive praise of the guitar for another post).

My question is, that after one of my many marathon playing sessions with the new Tele, I noticed that most of the strings (especially G, B and high E) were not centered on the bridge saddles. All of those strings were situated on the left side of the saddle (towards the low E string). I play mostly Blues & Country with a lot of string bending, so I assume that the bending is the cause of the movement.

I'd appreciate any comments, thoughts or experiences that anyone else may have with this issue. I don't know if this really is a problem or if it will effect the intonation and / or tone (one of the reasons I like the Tele so much is that I've been playing a Strat for 20+ years and we all know how challenging it can be to keep them in tune with good intonation)
