agreed need an above photo of the whole guitar. Strange that looks like the bridge and tailpiece left posts appear to be in the original position so could be a case of the right post holes being too wide. Agreed with Gav the bridge angle looks too steep (high E too short compared to low E)
Really need the owner of the LP to confirm if the bridge and tailpiece didn't fit with the original bush hole positions.
The customer has sent some more photos as requested by your responses. I'm thinking he might need to get in a bit closer and under better lighting, but can you guys get a sense for what might be going on from these pics?

The strings still don't appear to be lining up over the pickup posts, particularly in the south. This is likely to be the result of the bridge being relocated.
As I suggested before, I suspect the bridge and pickups all lined up in their original position, which just leaves the neck route or positioning. I actually think it is still hard to tell if it is a routing or gluing issue without seeing more shots around the actually neck join (particularly on the low E side, where, a mis-glued neck would be more obvious due to a gap at the top of the body, possibly a shot from behind the neck join looking down the neck over the join would help?..should be well-lit too).
If it were mis-glued, it would have been better to dissolve the glue (I know a crappy job, but I've seen it done) and re-position the neck, than to move the bridge.

That saddle isnt even close....in terms of scale length!
I know we are all assuming this but thought I'd ask. These are the original supplied bridge and tail piece that has been used?
TO me, the neck appears to be lined up on the lower side (short rout), not the longer side of the rout - hence a larger gap along the 1st string to fret board. Also as Gavin said. Maybe bite the bullet Adam and get him to send it back and replace the kit. whilst I'm here.. do any of you guys have a solid tail bridge that has a string spacing of 50mm to a max of 52.. can swap a brand new solid tail bridge that is 54mm string spacing?
Hi guys here are some preconstruction pics where it is clearly gis able that the holes are not in the correct place for both bridge and tail

Visable (type o )
that neck rout appears to be off center line to me,also the holes dont appear to centered there either.
here's a similar photo of my LP-1 with a similar dark stain, it's hard to tell as the photo angles are slightly different but the post holes don't look too different.
The question I have for Nathsim is did the supplied bridge and tailpiece fit over the bush posts ?
I think the neck route looks ok, they are off centre as the fingerboard hangs over the heel on the right side. I can see the bush holes to be in a slightly different position to mine, the bush holes don't appear to be perfectly centred but the bridge pup route may be in the wrong position too to give this effect.
