Godin Shifter Classic 4 Bridge

Hey guys!
I've found a used Godin Shifter Classic 4 for 340$ including gig bag. I think it's a sweet deal. But I asked for some detailed photos and I don't know if I'm seeing things but the bridge looks like a bit offset to my eyes. I'm just a beginner so I don't know if it's normal or not. What do you think?

Also offtopic but I'd like to ask: I've learnt that this model comes without shielding, is that too much of a problem or can I fix it easily? I have watched some shielding videos but I don't know if I can do it at home as a beginner.

I'm not sure about the bridge but even if it is, it shouldn't be a problem if the stings line up with the pickups and fretboard. Shielding is fairly easy to do but it may not even be an issue. Those are good sounding pickups that come with the bass but you could just swap for a set of Geezer EMGs and not worry about shielding. Godin is making great instruments these days and that's a great price on that bass.
