There is also break angle created over the nut caused by the headstock pitching back. The Tune-o-matic bridge is not absolutely flat.

Just behind the tailpiece there are a number of dents and scratches, possibly caused by strings being fed through the stop bar tailpiece.

The solution is to change the neck-to-body angle, which is impossible with a neck-through design and difficult with a set-neck. A bolt-on neck can readily have a shim inserted between the heel and body, or even have the heel planed fractionally to change the angle (this method is much superior to shims both structurally and tonally).
