Hey Lew; I'm not following you here. On my (Fender) Tele, the strings run parallel to the pickguard. Why would this pup be any different under the middle position than the neck position? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. (That neck pup looks bad because I haven't removed the plastic yet.)
Looks like I exaggerated a little. But your guitar seemingly doesn't have much of a neck angle Artie.
The low E string definitely get further from the pickguard near the bridge of my Strats and Teles, compared to the distance from the underside of the string at the neck position.
I just took a second look and measured to be certain.
If I were to put the middle pickup of my Strats under the pickguard, the open strings would be 1/2" away from the pickup at the middle position and 7/16" away at the neck.
