Why is it so hard to get a tool and just check that angle when they put the neck on?
I personally think this is a major reason between a Gibson that has mojo and one has not. That neck angle. There is only 1 correct angle, the rest are wrong. If you can get the neck angle right, you can pretty much have a fixed bridge. They can do it for an acoustic, it is baffling why they don't do it for the electric.
It screams lazyness.
In the pics both look like they can go down a fair bit
Edit: I'm still really liking the top on that guitar.

As long as it goes low enough to give you your preferred action then it's fine. Like I said the neck angle on my LP allows the bridge to be really low, but ended moving it back up a bit as it felt better.
Return the guitar if you're not happy with how it feels, sounds or looks but not because you think you need to get the bridge lower than anyone would use

My fear is always using screw driver on tail piece and ending up doing some impromptu relick work, hence suggesting to use a coin instead.
