Hey dostal.it,

That would drive me crazy too, and it's not OCD. It's hard to tell exactly from the photos because there is some camera lens warping happening but there is clearly something going wrong with the spacing of your G and B strings.

It looks to me like the hole for the B string pin in the bridge might have been drilled wrong.

You might want to re-string that guitar and see if you can get the strings at a more straight angle, going directly at the nut. I can't tell because of that camera lens warping, but it seems like they're all kinda wacky. That might improve things.

But still, it does appear the B string pin hole is wrong / not evenly spaced.

-Carl.
