Hi! New to PRS. I fell in the love with the Starla Bigsby guitars. Warm but jangley and look so old school cool.

I just bought a used Starla S2 with Bigsby off Reverb and cosmetically it's great. However, the alignment of the neck pickup on the bass side is off. My questions are, is this normal? Why is the spacing off, even the low E string is a bit far in? Can this be fixed? Should I not bother worrying about it? I was going to post a picture but couldn't figure out a way to do that. Tried posting a link from IMGUR.

I just got it, changed the strings, adjusted the truss rod slightly; intonated. The positives are the neck pickups can be bassy and woolly, so maybe it's okay?

This is perfectly normal, it's because the strings are narrower at the neck end than the bridge end and pickups are all the same standard Humbucker size.
