Old ones do, new ones do it, my 52Ri did it, my 78 did it, my 69RI does it. Put the ashtray on it, it disappears. Every Tele with a vintage bridge I've ever worked on (quite a few) always shows some pickup 'bumcrack'. It's partly because the rim bend is not a straight edge, but curves upwards. Alwasy looks worse veiwed from a playing angle.
