Just look at this retard; would you buy it? It clearly has alignment issues affecting more than one string. The orange line there is the straight reference. You might say it's a minor anomaly, the guitar still works fine any way. So do dented bodies & rusty hardware - the guitar still works, yes? If you cascade this understanding onto Jacksons / Charvels / EPSs, then I have no issues with that; these brand names make guitars with tilted headstocks. Ibanez & Fender headstocks observe a straight string pull, anything lesser is unacceptable. We wonder how these things get through QC & shipped out of the factory.
The guitar in question is the Ibanez S521, offered in two finishes. They're still offered for sale as normal, non-blemished / issue-free instruments. I sincerely hope that others are not affected, otherwise this will be considered batch defects & requires some looking into with regards to its sale status.
