Mine was like that. i had to top wrap it. My Les Paul is not like that and top wrapping is no good for it. It is all to do with the angle the neck is set at. Do they do it because slide players like SGs and need higher actions? I dunno.
Nashville bridges have the wide body vs an ABR-1, so ensuring the strings don’t sit on the back of the bridge (E and E strings usually) means the tail piece has to be higher than usual. This is often a contributing factor when people choose to go back to an ABR-1.
I would also top wrap this guitar and lwoer the tail piece until the E and E are marginally above the back of the bridge.
Or, for a lot more money, get some Faber inserts and convert it to an ABR. You’ll still have a a high ish tail piece though...Gibson these days tend to have a steeper neck angle. My ‘60 335 has the ABR almost touching the top of the guitar due to the lesser neck angle.
