Seems to me this whole neck is off centered. Is your neck bolt-on? If it is you have to unscrew it a little (first release the tension on the strings!!), and center it by pulling it towards the HIGH E STRING.
Like this: pull the neck in this directions to center the strings on the neck: /\ /\ E-------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------- G-------------------------------------- D-------------------------------------- A-------------------------------------- e-------------------------------------- -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I agree with the previous speakers.
If the bridge was removed, was it put back right? Is the neck put back straight? -------------------- My bands homepage

If you have taken the neck off in past that is the most probable solution (to fix its position).

a front picture would make it easier to see, like the factory guitar pic.

You mean that I should let it a little loose, adjust the position and re-screw it? Yes I do. comparing the 2 pics you have {yours and the factory} the bridge is on backwards .looking at the micro tuners they face the tail stock I just saw this. I think the bridge is backwards too -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

The bridge looks fine to me, at least that's how it os on my epiphone SG ever since I bought it.
Edit: I mean it's not backwards, don't know if it's centered, but certainly not backwards, at least if it is like the epiphone sg g400 bridge. It looks backwards if you compare it with the picture of the bridge of a Gibson, but yours seems to be epiphone right?
